About Kilogram-force (kgf)

Equal to the gravitational force on one kilogram (9.80665 N), the kilogram-force was widely used in engineering before the SI system standardized on the newton. It is still encountered in some countries for measuring body weight on scales, spring constants, and cable tension ratings.

About Newton (N)

The SI derived unit of force, one newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram at one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, this unit is used throughout physics and engineering. An average apple weighs about one newton, a fitting tribute to Newton's legendary encounter with falling fruit.
