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:

  
  

• 
  

  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.

Pound Foot per Square Second [lbf·ft/s²]

This unit represents a torque or moment of force per unit time squared (though it’s an uncommon combination and can sometimes be context-specific).

• 
  

  It combines pound-force (lbf), a unit of force, with foot (ft), a unit of length, divided by second squared (s²), a unit of time squared.

  
  
• 
  

  It may be used in dynamics or rotational mechanics when dealing with angular accelerations or rate changes of torque.

  
  
• 
  

  In basic terms:

  
  

• 
  

  Since 1 lbf ≈ 4.44822 newtons and 1 ft ≈ 0.3048 meters, this can be converted into SI units as:

  
  

• 
  

  Note: This unit is not commonly standard; usage depends on the specific physical context, like rotational dynamics.
