What are Kilogram-force square second per meter and Kip

Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a unit of rotational inertia, also known as moment of inertia. It measures an object's resistance to changes in its rotation rate when a torque is applied. Specifically, it quantifies the torque required to achieve a certain angular acceleration about an axis, considering a distribution of mass at a given distance from that axis.

A kip is a non-SI unit of force that equals 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). It is commonly used in engineering and construction within the United States to measure large forces or loads. One kip is equivalent to approximately 4.448 kilonewtons (kN) and is often used in discussions of structural loads and building codes.
