Kiloton (Metric) [kt]

The kiloton (kt) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms (one million kilograms). It is commonly used to measure large quantities, such as the weight of ships, large cargo, or explosive energy equivalent in nuclear physics.

In the context of explosives, one kiloton often refers to the energy released by the explosion of 1,000 tons of TNT, a standard measure in describing the yield of nuclear bombs.

The kiloton provides a convenient scale for expressing very large masses or energy amounts in scientific, industrial, and military fields.

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.
