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 provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared. In essence, one Newton is the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram object at a rate of one meter per second squared.

Definition of Kilogram-force

A Kilogram-force, or kilopond, is a non-SI unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on one kilogram of mass. Specifically, it is the gravitational force experienced by a one-kilogram mass in standard Earth gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). One kilogram-force is equal to 9.80665 Newtons.
