What are Kilogram-force and Nanonewton

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in a gravitational field. In simpler terms, it is the weight of a kilogram mass under the standard acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared. The kilogram-force was widely used before the adoption of the SI unit system, which uses the Newton as the standard unit of force. Despite its reduced usage in scientific contexts, the kilogram-force remains a relevant measure in various engineering fields and practical applications.

Definition of Nanonewton

A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one-billionth of a Newton. The Newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the standard unit of force. Therefore, a nanonewton is 10^-9 Newtons. This unit is used to measure extremely small forces that are typically encountered in high-precision scientific experiments, micro-engineering, and nanotechnology. The introduction of nanonewtons allows for more precise calculations and measurements in fields that require fine detail and accuracy.
