No, kg is not a unit of force; it is a unit of mass.

According to the information provided, in the SI unit system:

  • N (Newton) and kgf (kilogram-force) are units of force.
  • kg (kilogram) is a unit of mass.

Therefore, there is a clear distinction: mass is measured in kilograms (kg), while force is measured in Newtons (N) or kilogram-force (kgf).
