Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force square second/meter [kgf·s²/m] to Earth's mass [M_earth], or Convert Earth's mass to kilogram-force square second/meter.
How to Convert Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter to Earth's Mass
1 kgf·s²/m = 1.64210482250502e-24 M_earth
Example: convert 15 kgf·s²/m to M_earth:
15 kgf·s²/m = 15 × 1.64210482250502e-24 M_earth = 2.46315723375753e-23 M_earth

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.
Earth's Mass
Earth's mass (M_earth) is a unit of mass representing the mass of the Earth, approximately 5.972 × 10^24 kilograms.
History/Origin
The concept of Earth's mass as a unit originated from scientific measurements of Earth's size and gravitational influence, becoming a standard reference in geophysics and astronomy.
Current Use
M_earth is used in scientific contexts to express planetary and astronomical masses, and in some cases, to compare the mass of other celestial bodies relative to Earth.
