Kilogram-force second squared per meter (kgf·s²/m)
This is a derived unit combining mechanical units and force.
Kilogram-force (kgf): A unit of force defined as the force exerted by gravity on one kilogram of mass at standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
1 kgf ≈ 9.80665 newtons (N).
The unit kgf·s²/m can be interpreted as a measure related to mechanical impedance or compliance in some physics or engineering contexts, combining force, time squared, and distance.
Breakdown:
Force (kgf) × Time² (s²) / Length (m)
It has dimensions of mass × time² / length (since 1 kgf ≈ 9.81 N = kg·m/s²)
This unit is uncommon but might appear in specific engineering or physics formulas related to dynamic systems or mechanical vibrations.

Ton (Assay) (UK) [AT (UK)]
The assay ton (UK) is a traditional British unit of weight used mainly in the mining industry for assaying ores. It is specifically designed to standardize the quantity of ore tested to determine its precious metal content.
One UK assay ton is equal to 28 pounds (about 12.7 kilograms). This is different from the British long ton (2,240 pounds) and allows for consistent sampling in metallurgical testing.
The assay ton (UK) provides a practical and uniform measurement for assessing the value of mineral deposits, especially in the context of gold and silver extraction.
