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.
Pound (Troy Or Apothecary)
A pound (troy or apothecary) is a unit of weight used primarily for precious metals and gemstones, equivalent to 12 ounces or approximately 373 grams.
History/Origin
The troy pound originated in the medieval French town of Troyes, historically used in the trade of precious metals and gemstones. The apothecary pound was used in pharmacy for weighing medicines and ingredients. Both units have roots in medieval European systems of measurement.
Current Use
The troy pound is still used in the precious metals industry, especially for gold, silver, and gemstones. The apothecary pound is largely obsolete but may still be referenced in historical contexts or traditional practices.
