Tonne
A tonne (symbol: t) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
History/Origin
The tonne was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, consistent unit.
Current Use
The tonne is widely used internationally in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities.
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.
