What are Newton and Kilogram-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. In essence, it quantifies the amount of force required to move an object of a certain mass at a specified acceleration rate. This unit plays a crucial role in physics and engineering, providing a standard measure of force that can be universally applied in scientific calculations and practical applications.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a gravitational metric unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in a standard gravitational field, which is 9.80665 meters per second squared. Essentially, it represents the weight of one kilogram under Earth's gravity. This unit is traditionally used in fields like engineering and physics to quantify force and is particularly useful in mechanical contexts where the force is discussed in terms of weight. Despite being largely replaced by the Newton in SI units, it remains a commonly understood and used measure of force.
