What are Kilopond and Megaton

Definition of Kilopond

A kilopond, also known as a kilogram-force, is a unit of force. It is defined as the gravitational force exerted by a mass of one kilogram at the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity of 9.80665 meters per second squared. Therefore, one kilopond is equal to 9.80665 newtons.

Definition of Megaton

A megaton is a unit of energy typically used to describe the explosive power of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to the energy released by detonating one million tons of TNT (trinitrotoluene). In terms of joules, one megaton equals approximately 4.184 petajoules.
