What are Kilogram and Kilogram-force

Definition of Kilogram

The kilogram is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK), a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder stored in France. Initially, the kilogram was intended to be equivalent to the mass of a liter of water. However, due to the impracticality of measuring a liter of water with absolute precision, the kilogram's definition evolved. Today, the kilogram is defined by the Planck constant—a fundamental constant in quantum mechanics—ensuring precision and consistency in scientific and industrial applications worldwide.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It represents the force exerted by a one-kilogram mass under standard gravity, defined as 9.80665 m/s². Historically, the kilogram-force was used particularly in fields like engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the Newton as the SI unit of force. Even now, it finds utility in some practical applications where intuitive understanding of mass-related force is required. Despite its limited formal use today, kilogram-force remains an important concept in understanding the relationship between mass and gravitational force.
