The kilogram-force (kgf), also called kilopond (kp), equals the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).Although not part of SI, it remains common in some engineering contexts and everyday usage outside the US.
What is Newton (N)?
The newton (N) is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²).Named after Sir Isaac Newton, it is the universal standard for force measurement in science and engineering.
