Hundredweight (Uk)
The long hundredweight (cwt) is a traditional British unit of mass equal to 112 avoirdupois pounds, or approximately 50.8023 kilograms. It is divided into 4 quarters of 28 pounds each. The long hundredweight was historically used throughout the British Empire for trade in commodities such as wool, coal, and grain, and remains a legal unit in the United Kingdom for certain purposes.
Kilogram-force
The kilogram-force ( kgf or kg F ), or kilopond ( kp , from Latin: pondus , lit. 'weight'), is a gravitational metric unit of force. It is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted on one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s 2 gravitational field (standard gravity, a conventional value approximating the average magnitude of gravity on Earth). Therefore, one kilogram-force is by definition equal to 9.806 65 N. Similarly, a gram-force is 9.806 65 mN, and a milligram-force is 9.806 65 μN.
