What are Foot and Kip-force

Definition of Foot

A foot, symbolized as ft, is a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 12 inches, or one-third of a yard. Historically, the length of a foot varied from country to country, but it was standardized to 304.8 millimeters in 1959. Widely used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, the foot is commonly employed for measuring shorter distances and heights in construction and real estate.

Definition of Kip-force

A Kip-force, abbreviated as kip, is a unit of force equivalent to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). The term 'kip' is derived from 'kilo-pound'. This unit is commonly used in structural engineering to measure loads and forces acting on buildings, bridges, and other structures. One kip is equal to approximately 4.44822 kilonewtons (kN). The use of kip allows for easier calculation and representation of large forces, making it a practical unit in the field of engineering.
