What are Inch and Kilogram-force

Definition of Inch

An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Originally based on the width of a human thumb, it has been standardized to exactly 2.54 centimeters. Widely used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, the inch is commonly employed for measuring small distances in various fields such as construction, electronics, and manufacturing. The inch is further divided into smaller units called lines or points, making it a versatile unit for detailed measurements.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by a one-kilogram mass in a gravitational field of standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). It is commonly used in certain fields such as engineering and material science to measure force. One kilogram-force is equal to approximately 9.81 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI). This unit helps to quantify mechanical force and pressure, making it essential for applications like structural analysis, hydraulic systems, and pressure measurements.
