What are Kilogram-force and Newton

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity on a surface. One kilogram-force is equal to the gravitational force experienced by a one-kilogram mass. Thus, it is a measure that combines mass and acceleration due to gravity, representing how much force a one-kilogram mass exerts or experiences under standard Earth gravity.

A Newton (N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. In essence, if a one-kilogram mass undergoes an acceleration of one meter per second squared, the force applied is one Newton. It is a core unit in physics, representing a quantifiable force impacting an object.

History of Kilogram-force and Newton

A brief history of the Kilogram-force Meter to Newton Meter conversion involves the transition from the metric system to the International System of Units (SI). Originally, engineers and scientists used kilogram-force meters as a measure of torque. With the adoption of SI units, which favor Newton meters for torque, the need for conversion between these units became essential for standardization and accuracy in scientific measurements.
