What are Kilogram-force and Newton

Kilogram-force, or kgf, is a unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity on the surface of the Earth. This equates to approximately 9.80665 newtons, the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Kilogram-force takes into account the gravitational acceleration that varies with location but is often standardized to 9.80665 m/s².

The newton, symbolized as N, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. One newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Newton's second law of motion establishes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, forming the basis for this unit of force.
