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 (Uk)
The hundredweight (UK), or cwt (UK), is a unit of weight equal to 112 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used in the United Kingdom for measuring commodities like produce and livestock.
History/Origin
The UK hundredweight has been used historically in trade and agriculture, originating from the traditional system of weights. It was standardized in the imperial system and has been in use since the 19th century, although its usage has declined with metrication.
Current Use
Today, the UK hundredweight is still used in certain industries such as agriculture and livestock trading, especially in the UK, but it is largely replaced by the metric system in most contexts.
