What are Centimeter and Kip-force

Definition of Centimeter

A centimeter, symbolized as cm, is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one-hundredth of a meter. It serves as a standard measurement in various applications, such as construction, science, and daily life. Since the International System of Units adopted the meter as the primary unit of length, the centimeter became a convenient and smaller subdivision, facilitating more precise measurements and calculations.

Definition of Kip-force

A kip-force, often just called a kip, is a non-SI unit of force. It equals 1,000 pounds-force (lbf) and is commonly used in engineering and construction within the United States. The kip is a convenient unit for expressing large loads or forces. For instance, in structural engineering, loads or stresses may be measured in kips to succinctly represent thousands of pounds of force.
