Convert kip to kg
Kip
The kip (kip) is a non-SI unit of force equal to 1,000 pound-force (lbf), or approximately 4,448.22 newtons. The name is a portmanteau of kilo and pound. It is widely used in structural and civil engineering in the United States to express large forces and loads, such as the capacity of structural members and foundations.
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.
