What are Kilogram-force and Kilonewton

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by gravity on a one-kilogram mass. Essentially, it is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at the rate of 9.80665 meters per second squared, which is the standard acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface. This unit is often used in engineering and physics to describe forces in a more tangible and relatable manner compared to other units like newtons.

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to 1,000 newtons. It is commonly used in engineering and physics to express larger forces in a manageable format. One newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, a kilonewton represents the force needed to achieve the same acceleration on a mass of 1,000 kilograms.
