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 \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.

Newton [N]

The newton (N) is the SI unit of force.

It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2

Named after Sir Isaac Newton for his work on classical mechanics.
Commonly used to measure forces such as weight, tension, and thrust in physics and engineering.

Example: The weight of a 1 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 9.8 N.
