What are Kilopond meter and Poundal foot

The kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of work or energy in the meter-kilogram-second system, equivalent to the work done by a force of one kilopond acting over a distance of one meter. It is also known as a kilogram-meter (kg·m) in the International System of Units (SI), with one kilopond meter being roughly equivalent to 9.80665 joules, the energy transferred when a one-kilopond force is applied over a one-meter distance.

A poundal foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of work or energy in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, which is primarily used in the United States. It represents the work done by a force of one poundal acting through a distance of one foot. A poundal is a unit of force that equals the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. One poundal foot is equivalent to approximately 0.04214 joules in the SI system.
