It's clear from context clues that they don't mean Force. As kilograms are an indicator of mass, not force. It's not our fault that US' imperial system is silly.

Imperial is a British thing, and the quantities differ significantly from US customary.

perhaps, but the US uses it.

Nope. As I said, the US customarily uses US customary units. They ARE NOT identical to "Imperial" units, despite the coincidental naming.
