What are Kilogram-force and Newton

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 defined as the force needed to accelerate a kilogram of mass by 9.80665 meters per second squared, which is the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. This unit is widely used in engineering and physics to measure force in practical scenarios. Despite the widespread adoption of the Newton unit in the International System of Units (SI), kilogram-force remains in use in some industries and regions for specific applications.

Definition of Newton

The Newton, symbolized as N, is the SI unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work in classical mechanics. One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit provides a standardized way to measure force, making it crucial for scientific calculations and engineering applications. The Newton is widely used in various fields, including physics, engineering, and mechanics, to quantify force in a consistent and reliable manner.
