Gigagram
A gigagram (Gg) is a unit of mass equal to one billion grams or one million kilograms.
History/Origin
The gigagram is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century as measurements for large quantities expanded.
Current Use
Gigagrams are used in fields such as engineering, environmental science, and industry to quantify large masses, including biomass, emissions, and bulk materials.
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.
