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.
Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) is a unit of mass equal to ten grams.
History/Origin
The dekagram was introduced as part of the metric system to simplify conversions within the metric units of mass, particularly in the context of grams and kilograms, and has been used primarily in countries adopting the metric system since the 19th century.
Current Use
Dekagrams are used in various fields such as cooking, jewelry, and scientific measurements, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, although grams and kilograms are more commonly used globally.
