Discover the convenience of converting centigrams to kgf·m²/s² with our precise Centigram to Kilogram-force Square Second meter Converter, designed to simplify complex calculations.
A centigram is a metric unit of mass that is equal to one hundredth of a gram or 10^-2 grams. It is a small unit commonly used in scientific contexts where precise weight measurements are required. The centigram is not as widely used as the gram or kilogram in everyday contexts, but it remains an important unit in the metric system for its role in finer measurements.
Definition of Kilogram-forceKilogram-force, or kilopond, is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity (9.80665 m/s²). One kilogram-force is equivalent to approximately 9.80665 newtons. It is used to express force in engineering fields and where the distinction between mass and force is relevant.
