What is a kilogram?
A kilogram is metric unit of weight subdivided into 1,000 grams. The base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) is a kilogram and not, as is quite often mistaken, the gram.
One liter of water weighs 1kg.
There are two types of hundredweights
There are two types of hundredweights; long and short.
Long hundredweights, also known as the imperial hundredweight, are a unit of measurement commonly used in the United Kingdom and other countries that follow the imperial system. One long hundredweight is equal to 112 pounds or approximately 50.802 kilograms. This unit is often used in trade and commerce for measuring heavy goods such as livestock, grain, and building materials.
Short hundredweights, also known as the net hundredweight, are a unit of measurement commonly used in the United States. One short hundredweight is equal to 100 pounds. This unit is often used in agriculture and trade to measure bulk goods such as grains, produce, and other commodities. Short hundredweights are denoted by the symbol "cwt" and are frequently used in the United States to simplify calculations and transactions involving large quantities of goods.
