text:
A kip is a US customary unit of force. It equals 1000 pounds-force, and is used primarily by structural engineers to indicate forces where the value represented in pound-force is inefficient. Although uncommon, it is occasionally also considered a unit of mass, equal to 1000 pounds. Another use is as a unit of deadweight to compute shipping charges. The name comes from combining the words kilo and pound; it is occasionally called a kilopound. Its symbol is kip, sometimes K, or less frequently, k
