What does 1 kilowatt-second represent?

One kilowatt-second is the amount of energy delivered by one kilowatt of power applied continuously for one second and is equal to one kilojoule.

Why use kilogram-force centimeter for energy?

Kilogram-force centimeter expresses mechanical energy or work done by a force over a small distance, useful in older engineering contexts or for small-scale mechanical devices.

Is kilogram-force centimeter an SI unit?

No, kilogram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit and may not be commonly used in modern standard engineering calculations.
