What are Kilopond and Microjoule

Definition of Kilopond

A kilopond (kp) is a unit of force equivalent to the gravitational force exerted on a mass of one kilogram at the Earth's surface. It is essentially the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. The term kilopond derives from the Latin word 'pondus,' meaning weight, and 'kilo,' indicating a thousand. Therefore, a kilopond is 9.80665 newtons, the standard acceleration due to gravity.

Definition of Microjoule

A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that equals one millionth of a joule. Since energy is work done or heat transferred, a microjoule can also be understood as the amount of work done by a force of one newton moving an object through a distance of one micrometer, or as the heat required to raise the temperature of a milliliter of water by 0.000239 degrees Celsius.
