Kilopond [kp]
The kilopond (also called kilogram-force, kgf) is a unit of force based on the metric system.
1 kp=1 kgร9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 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.
Millinewton [mN]
Millinewton is a small unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).
1 millinewton (mN) equals 10โ3 newtons (0.001 newton).
It is commonly used to measure very small forces, such as in microengineering, delicate instrumentation, or biomechanical applications.
To put it in perspective:
1 mN=0.001 N
Millinewtons are useful for expressing forces smaller than centinewtons, allowing precise measurement of low-force phenomena.
