What are Pound-force and Kilogram-force

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force, symbolized as lbf or simply pound, is a unit of force used in some systems of measurement including English engineering units and the British Gravitational System. It is defined as the amount of force exerted by one pound of mass under the influence of Earth's gravity, which equals approximately 4.4482216152605 newtons. The pound-force is based upon the gravitational force experienced by a mass of one pound on the surface of Earth.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force, abbreviated as kgf, also known as kilopond (kp), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is equal to the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). One kilogram-force is therefore approximately 9.80665 newtons. Though not an SI unit, it is commonly used in certain fields and regions for measuring force, engine thrust, and tension.
