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.

  
  

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:

  
  

• 
  

  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.
