What are Kilogram-force and Erg

Kilogram-force is a unit of force that is defined as the gravitational force exerted by a one kilogram mass. It is equivalent to the force exerted by Earth's gravity on a mass of one kilogram at sea level. This unit is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) but is still used in some contexts for its intuitive grasp of force based on everyday objects.

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted over a distance of one centimetre. In the metric system, one erg is equal to 10^-7 joules. Despite being small, the erg remains a fundamental unit for microscopic energy measurements.
