What are Decinewton and Kilopond

Definition of Decinewton

A Decinewton (dN) is a unit of force in the metric system, equivalent to one-tenth of a Newton. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure smaller forces with precision. The Newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the SI unit for force and is defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, a Decinewton represents a scaled-down version of this unit, providing an effective means for measuring and comparing lower magnitudes of force.

Definition of Kilopond

A Kilopond, also known as a kilogram-force (kgf), is a non-SI unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a one-kilogram mass. In simple terms, one Kilopond is the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a rate of 9.80665 meters per second squared, which is the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. Although the Kilopond has largely been replaced by the Newton in scientific contexts, it remains in use in certain fields, especially in older engineering literature and specific regions.
