What are Kilogram-force and Kilopound

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force is a unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by Earth's gravity on one kilogram of mass. This force is equal to 9.80665 newtons, the standard gravity acceleration value on Earth's surface. Kilogram-force is a convenient unit for those working in engineering and physics where gravitational force is a relevant factor.

Definition of Kilopound

A Kilopound (kip) is a non-SI unit of force. It is equal to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). The kilopound is commonly used in engineering and construction within the United States. Because it represents a large force, the kip is convenient for structural calculations and in contexts where large forces are typical, such as in building frameworks and support systems.
