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.
Stone (Us)
A stone (st) is a unit of weight primarily used in the United States, equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35 kilograms.
History/Origin
The stone has origins in medieval England, where it was used as a convenient weight measure for trade and commerce. Its value varied regionally before standardization, and it has been used historically for measuring human body weight and other goods.
Current Use
Today, the stone is mainly used in the UK and Ireland for body weight measurement, while in the United States, it is rarely used and often replaced by pounds or kilograms in most contexts.
