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.
Atomic Mass Unit
The atomic mass unit (u) is a standard unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
History/Origin
The atomic mass unit was introduced in the early 20th century to provide a convenient scale for atomic weights. It was originally based on the mass of hydrogen but was later standardized to be one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, which was adopted as a reference in 1961 by the IUPAC.
Current Use
The atomic mass unit is widely used in chemistry and physics to express atomic and molecular masses, facilitating calculations in molecular chemistry, nuclear physics, and related fields.
