What are Kilogram and Pound-force

Definition of Kilogram

A kilogram, abbreviated as kg, is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined by the Planck constant, which is a physical constant that is universal in nature. The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of a liter of water at its freezing point. However, this definition has evolved to be based on fundamental physical constants. The kilogram is used worldwide in science, industry, and everyday commerce, serving as a standard for measuring mass and weight across various fields.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force, abbreviated as lbf, is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and other countries that still use Imperial or US customary units. It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a pound of mass at the Earth's surface. In more technical terms, one pound-force is equal to the gravitational force exerted on a one-pound mass, which is approximately 4.44822 newtons. This unit is widely used in engineering and physics to quantify force in systems where Imperial units are prevalent, providing a standard measure for force in various applications.
