What are Kilogram-force and Newton

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force is a unit of force in the gravitational metric system. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. One kilogram-force is equal to the exact amount of force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of 9.80665 meters per second squared, which is the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity.

Definition of Newton

The Newton 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. A Newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. This unit encapsulates the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force.
