What are Newton and Kilogram-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton, symbolized as N, is the SI (International System of Units) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, it quantifies the amount of force applied to an object to produce motion.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force, or kilopond, denoted as kgf, is a non-SI unit of force. It represents the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity on a surface. One kilogram-force is equivalent to the force exerted by a 1 kg mass in gravity of 9.80665 meters per second squared (the standard gravity).
