About These Units
- Kilogram-force (kgf)
- Exactly 9.80665 N, the weight of a 1 kg mass under standard gravity. It is not an SI unit, but it still appears on hand-grip dynamometers, older pressure gauges, and older machinery specifications.
- Newtons (N)
- The SI derived unit of force, the force that accelerates 1 kg at 1 m/s². It is named after Isaac Newton, and an apple of about 100 g weighs roughly one newton on Earth's surface.
