About these units
Force is what changes the motion of an object. The SI unit is the newton, the force that accelerates one kilogram by one metre per second squared.
Gravitational units such as the kilogram-force and the pound-force are the weight of one kilogram or one pound under standard gravity, exactly 9.80665 m/s². They are still used in engineering, for loads, and on scales and gauges.
