What are Kilopond and Pound Foot-square Second

Definition of Kilopond

Kilopond, also known as kilogram-force (kgf), is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by a one-kilogram mass under standard gravity. It was commonly used in various fields before the adoption of the Newton as the standard unit of force. One kilopond is equivalent to approximately 9.80665 Newtons. Understanding the kilopond is essential in historical and some practical contexts where this unit is still in use.

Definition of Pound Foot-square Second

Pound Foot-square Second is a unit of measurement that combines the imperial unit of mass (pound), distance (foot), and time (second). It is used to measure dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance to fluid flow. Essentially, it quantifies the internal friction within the fluid, affecting how it moves under force. This unit is critical in engineering and fluid mechanics to design and analyze systems involving fluid flow.
