What are Kilogram-force and Kilopond

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force, or kgf, is a unit of force in the gravitational metric system. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. One kilogram-force is equivalent to 9.80665 newtons, the standard acceleration due to gravity. This unit is often used in engineering and physics to represent weights and loads in a gravitational context.

Definition of Kilopond

Kilopond, abbreviated as kp, is an older unit of force that is equivalent to the gravitational force exerted by a mass of one kilogram. It is essentially the same as the kilogram-force and was used before the adoption of the newton in the International System of Units (SI). One kilopond is equal to the force produced by one kilogram of mass under standard Earth gravity, which is 9.80665 newtons.
