Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter
Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a derived unit used to measure a specific combination of force, time, and length, often in specialized engineering contexts.
History/Origin
The unit originates from the kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram mass, combined with time and length units for specific applications. It has been used historically in mechanical and engineering calculations before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Currently, kgf·s²/m is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units. It may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields requiring non-standard units.
Hundredweight (Us)
A hundredweight (US) is a unit of weight equal to 100 pounds (45.3592 kilograms).
History/Origin
The hundredweight originated in the British Imperial system and was adopted in the United States as a standard unit of weight for trade and commerce, particularly in agriculture and shipping, with the US customary hundredweight defined as 100 pounds.
Current Use
The US hundredweight (cwt) is still used in industries such as agriculture, shipping, and commodity trading to measure bulk quantities of goods like livestock, produce, and other commodities.
