Decinewton [dN]

Decinewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 decinewton (dN) equals $10^{-1}$ newtons (0.1 newton).
It is used to measure small forces, especially in contexts where forces less than one newton need to be expressed conveniently.
To put it in perspective:

1 \text{ dN} = 0.1 \text{ N}

Decinewtons help quantify forces smaller than a newton but larger than centinewtons.

Kilogram-Force [kgf]

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity.

It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 kilogram under Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.80665 m/s²).
Mathematically:

1 \text{ kgf} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ N}

Although not an SI unit, kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering and industries to express force more intuitively related to mass.

Example: A force of 10 kgf corresponds to approximately 98.07 newtons.
