The
kilogram-force (
kgf or
kgF), or
kilopond (
kp, from Latin
pondus meaning
weight), is a
gravitational metric unit of
force. It is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by one
kilogram of
mass in a 9.80665 m/s
2 gravitational field (
standard gravity, a conventional value approximating the average magnitude of gravity on Earth).
[1] 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. One kilogram-force is approximately 2.204622
pounds-force.
