What are Joule and Kilogram-force

Definition of Joule

The Joule, a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units, is named after James Prescott Joule. It quantifies the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton displaces an object over a distance of one meter. The Joule is also equivalent to the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. Widely used in physics, engineering, and various scientific fields, the Joule serves as a fundamental unit in understanding energy dynamics and conversions.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force that represents the gravitational force exerted on a one-kilogram mass under standard gravity of 9.80665 m/s². In practical terms, it’s equivalent to the weight of a kilogram mass at Earth’s surface. Employed in various applications, especially in engineering and physics, kilogram-force helps quantify the push or pull exerted by an object. Though not an SI unit, it is still used in specific contexts, providing an intuitive measure of force in relation to everyday experiences with gravity.
