What are Kilogram-force and Kilonewton

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force, abbreviated as kgf, is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by gravity on a one-kilogram mass. It is equal to 9.80665 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI). Commonly used in engineering and physics, kilogram-force helps measure pressure and stress in various applications. The unit is part of the gravitational metric system and plays a significant role in understanding the relationship between mass and gravitational force.

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to 1,000 Newtons, with the Newton being the standard unit of force. The kilonewton is commonly used in engineering, particularly in structural analysis, to quantify loads and forces. It helps engineers and scientists understand and calculate the magnitude of forces in various applications, such as building construction, machinery, and other mechanical systems.
