About these units

Kiloponds

A kilopond (kp) is equivalent to kilogram-force. It was previously used to measure forces exerted by larger masses, but it has been replaced by more standardized units like the newton.

Decinewtons

A decinewton (dN) is 0.1 newtons. It’s rarely used but could be practical in situations involving small forces, such as in laboratory experiments or precision measurements where high accuracy is needed.
