Together with the kilogram, initially the mass of a decaliter of distilled water, it formed the basis of the metric system.

它和千克（10升蒸馏水的重量）一起构成了公制计量的基本单位。

So if now I hang on it a mass of one kilogram, I can calculate the period of one oscillation, and one over the period F is the frequency F, and I believe that is something like 38 hertz.

如果在上面,悬挂1公斤物质，我能够计算出,振荡的周期，1除以周期,等于频率，我相信,等于大概38赫兹。

The name is a reference to International Prototype kilogram, as a base unit of mass in the International System of Units.

它的名字和国际单位中表示基本聚合物质质量千克有关。

We can be precise about how much bigger by saying, "If the acceleration of a body to a given force is ten times that of a one kilogram mass, then this mass is one-tenth of one kilogram."

我们能精确地知道质量能大多少,只需要说,"如果物体在给定力作用下的加速度,是一个 1 千克物体的加速度的 10 倍,那这个物体的质量就是 1 千克的十分之一"
