Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by Earth's gravity on a mass of one kilogram. It is commonly used in engineering and physics to measure the force applied to an object. The unit is part of the gravitational metric system and equates to approximately 9.80665 newtons. Kilogram-force is particularly useful in contexts where the effects of gravity are considered, providing a more intuitive understanding of force in everyday terms. As a non-SI unit, its use is gradually being replaced by the more precise newton in scientific applications.
Definition of Ton-forceTon-force (long), often abbreviated as tf, is a unit of force based on the long ton, primarily used in the United Kingdom. It reflects the gravitational pull on a mass of one long ton, which is equivalent to 2,240 pounds. The unit is part of the British Imperial system and is roughly equal to 9,964 newtons. While not commonly used in scientific calculations, the ton-force is valuable in industries like construction and shipping, where large forces are frequently encountered. Its use is declining, being replaced by the newton as a more standardized unit of force in international contexts.
