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/sยฒ).



  • Mathematically:



1 kgf=1 kgร—9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 N1 \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.



Joule per Meter [J/m]


Joule per meter is a unit that represents energy per unit length.



  • Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy.



  • When expressed as joule per meter (J/m), it describes how much energy is distributed or transferred along each meter of length.



  • Commonly used in contexts such as:



    • Energy density along a line (e.g., tension in a string or energy stored per unit length in materials).



    • Describing work done per meter traveled.




  • It can also relate to forces when considering energy changes over distance:



1 J/m=1 N(since 1 N=1 J/m)1 \text{ J/m} = 1 \text{ N} \quad (\text{since } 1 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ J/m})

This means joule per meter can be equivalent to a newton, representing force.
