Kilogram-Force
Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.
Dekanewtons
A dekanewton (daN) represents 10 newtons of force. It is a convenient unit for representing forces in contexts where newtons are too small, but kilonewtons are too large. Dekanewtons are occasionally used in mechanical and engineering applications.
