Answer» The kilogram-force (kgf or kgF), or kilopond (kp, from LATIN: pondus, lit. 'weight'), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is equal to the magnitude of the force EXERTED on one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s2 gravitational field (standard gravity, a conventional value approximating the average magnitude of gravity on EARTH).[1] That is, it is the weight of a kilogram under standard gravity. Therefore, one kilogram-force is by definition equal to 9.80665 N.[2][3] Similarly, a gram-force is 9.80665 mN, and a milligram-force is 9.80665 μN. |
