Quantities in the colored areas are not mass

units but are often used as such. For
example, when we write 1 kg = 2.205 lb,
this means that a kilogram is
a mass that weighs 2.205 pounds at a
location where g has the standard value of
9.80665 m/s2.

different from mass densities. See the note

1 knot = 1 nautical mi/h = 1.688 ft/s

mi/min = 88.00 ft/s = 60.00 mi/h

Force
Force units in the colored areas are now
little used. To clarify: 1 gram-force (= 1 gf)
is the force of gravity that would act on an
object whose mass is 1 gram at a location
where g has the standard value of
9.80665 m/s2.
