What are Kilopound and Petagram

Definition of Kilopound

A Kilopound, abbreviated as kip, is a non-SI unit of force or mass. One kip is equal to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf) or approximately 444.82216 Newtons in terms of force. When referring to mass, one kip equals 1,000 pounds-mass (lbm), which is equivalent to about 453.592 kilograms.

Definition of Petagram

A Petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000,000,000,000,000 grams (10^15 grams) in the metric system. It's a rarely used unit as it represents an extremely large mass. One Petagram is equivalent to one quadrillion grams or one billion kilograms, often used in scientific contexts dealing with planetary or astronomical scales.
