What are Newton and Kilogram-force

A Newton, symbolized as 'N', is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. This definition is based on Isaac Newton's second law of motion, where force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).

Kilogram-force, or kgf, is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity on the object itself. Therefore, one kgf is equal to the standard gravitational acceleration, 9.80665 meters per second squared, acting on one kilogram of mass.

History of Newton and Kilogram-force

A brief history of the evolution of pressure and stress units reveals the transition from traditional units like kgf/m² to the widely accepted SI unit, the Pascal. The Newton per square millimeter, N/mm², emerged as a high precision unit for stress, leading to the need for converters to bridge the gap with legacy units like kgf/m².
