Decigram
A decigram (dg) is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram, or 0.1 grams.
History/Origin
The decigram is part of the metric system, which was developed in France in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It has been used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to provide precise mass measurements.
Current Use
Decigrams are used in scientific, laboratory, and nutritional contexts where small mass measurements are required, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
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.
