What are Newton and Kilogram-force

Definition of Newton

The Newton, symbolized as N, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, it quantifies the force exerted in the direction of an object's movement.

Definition of Kilogram-force

A Kilogram-force, denoted as kgf or sometimes kgF, is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is equal to the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity (9.80665 m/s²). Essentially, it represents the weight of one kilogram in Earth's gravitational field.
