What are Pound-force and Kilogram-force

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force defined in the imperial system of measurements. It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one pound. In simpler terms, it is the amount of force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by 32.174 feet per second squared. Pound-force is commonly used in various engineering and technical fields to measure force, especially in the United States where the imperial system is still prevalent. Understanding this unit is essential for accurate force calculations and applications in mechanical and structural engineering.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force that measures the force exerted by gravity on a one-kilogram mass. In the metric system, it is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of 9.80665 meters per second squared. Kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering, material testing, and other technical fields to quantify force. Although it is not an SI unit, it remains a practical measure for various applications where the metric system is used, providing an intuitive understanding of force in relation to mass.
