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 kp=1 kgร—9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 newtons1 \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.




Femtonewton [fN]


Femtonewton is an ultra-small unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 femtonewton (fN) equals 10โˆ’1510^{-15} newtons (0.000000000000001 newton).



  • It is used in cutting-edge research fields like atomic physics, nanotechnology, and quantum mechanics to measure incredibly tiny forces.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 fN=0.000000000000001 N1 \text{ fN} = 0.000000000000001 \text{ N}

Femtonewtons enable precise measurement of forces at atomic and subatomic levels where minute interactions occur.
