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.

Kilopond [kp]

The kilopond (also called kilogram-force, kgf) is a unit of force based on the metric system.

It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard Earth gravity.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ kp} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ newtons}

It is commonly used in engineering and industries, especially before the widespread adoption of the newton (SI unit).
The kilopond is equivalent to the kilogram-force (kgf) and is often used interchangeably.
Despite being non-SI, it remains popular in some regions for practical measurements of force.
