Hectonewton [hN]

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

1 hectonewton (hN) equals $10^{2}$ newtons (100 newtons).
It is used to measure moderate forces, such as those encountered in mechanical engineering or smaller-scale industrial applications.
To put it into perspective:

1 \text{ hN} = 100 \text{ N}

Hectonewtons provide a convenient way to express forces larger than newtons but smaller than kilonewtons.

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.
