What are Newton and Kilogram-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton, symbolized as 'N', is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to impart an acceleration of one meter per second squared to a one-kilogram mass. In essence, 1 N is the amount of force required to move 1 kg at an acceleration rate of 1 m/s².

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force, denoted as 'kgf', is a non-SI unit of force. It represents the gravitational force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). One kilogram-force is equal to the gravitational force exerted on a 1 kg mass at Earth's surface.
