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 kgf=1 kg×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.

Micronewton [µN]


Micronewton is a very small unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 micronewton (µN) equals 10610^{-6} newtons (0.000001 newton).



  • It is used to measure extremely small forces in fields like microelectronics, nanotechnology, and sensitive scientific experiments.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 µN=0.000001 N1 \text{ µN} = 0.000001 \text{ N}

Micronewtons allow precise quantification of tiny forces that are beyond the sensitivity of larger units like millinewtons.
