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.


Ton (Long)

A long ton, also known as the imperial ton or UK ton, is a unit of weight equal to 2,240 pounds or 1,016.0469 kilograms.

History/Origin

The long ton originated in the United Kingdom as a standard measurement for large quantities of goods and materials, particularly in shipping and trade, during the 19th century. It was used alongside other imperial units before the adoption of the metric system.

Current Use

Today, the long ton is primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries for measuring large quantities of freight, cargo, and in certain industrial contexts. It is less common internationally, having been largely replaced by the metric ton (tonne).
