Meaning of "kilogrammetre" in English

A "kilogrammetre" is an unofficial unit of work or energy, equivalent to the amount of work done when a force of one kilogram is exerted over a distance of one metre. Although not commonly used in modern physics or engineering, the term historically appeared in contexts where simple mechanical calculations were performed. It combines the mass unit "kilogram" with the distance unit "metre" to denote a specific quantity of work.
