Even if the si unit of weight is kgf why does the weighing scale shows it in kg??
Answers
Answer:
When we use kilograms to measure weight, we are actually referring to kgf or kilogram-force.
Explanation:
One kilogram-force is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s gravitational field. In other words, the weight (force) of one kg is equal to one kgf, or 9.8 N. So your scale should display your weight in newtons. However it will normally indicate your weight in kilograms.Our weight is simply the force on us due to the pull of the Earth on our mass........................
