Convert Sun's mass to kilogram-force square second/meter
Please provide values below to convert Sun's mass [M_sun] to kilogram-force square second/meter [kgf·s²/m], or Convert kilogram-force square second/meter to Sun's mass.
How to Convert Sun's Mass to Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter
1 M_sun = 2.0282155476131e+29 kgf·s²/m
Example: convert 15 M_sun to kgf·s²/m:
15 M_sun = 15 × 2.0282155476131e+29 kgf·s²/m = 3.04232332141965e+30 kgf·s²/m

Sun's Mass
The Sun's mass (M_sun) is a standard unit of mass used in astronomy to express the mass of other stars and celestial objects, approximately equal to 1.989 × 10^30 kilograms.
History/Origin
The concept of using the Sun's mass as a unit originated in the early 20th century as astronomers sought a convenient standard for stellar masses. It became widely adopted in astrophysics for its practicality and ease of comparison.
Current Use
Today, M_sun is commonly used in astrophysics and astronomy to describe the mass of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, facilitating standardized communication and calculations within the scientific community.
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.
