Quintal (Metric) [cwt]

The metric quintal is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms. It is widely used in agriculture and commerce for measuring bulk goods like grains, produce, and livestock feed.

Though called "quintal," it differs from other regional versions like the British hundredweight (cwt). In some countries, especially those using the metric system, the quintal serves as a convenient intermediate unit between kilograms and metric tons.

Summary:

1 metric quintal = 100 kg
Common in farming and trade for easy large-quantity measurements

Kip

The kip is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.

1 kip = 1,000 pounds-force (lbf)
1 kip ≈ 4,448.22 newtons (N)
Symbol: kip

Key Points:

Used to measure large forces or loads, such as in structural engineering, construction, and material testing
Simplifies the expression of heavy loads (e.g., instead of 20,000 lbf, engineers say 20 kip)
Part of the U.S. customary system, not an SI unit

The kip is widely used in practice where large forces are common, making calculations and communication easier.
