What is the Formula to convert Kilogram-Force to Giganewtons?
The formula to convert given force from Kilogram-Force to Giganewtons is:
Substitute the given value of force in kilogram-force, i.e., Force(Kilogram-Force) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the force in giganewtons, i.e., Force(Giganewtons).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider a person applying 70 kilogram-force to lift a weight in the gym. Convert this force from kilogram-force to Giganewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of lifting the weight in kilogram-force is:
Force(Kilogram-Force) = 70
Formula:
The formula to convert force from kilogram-force to giganewtons is:
Substitute given weight of shopping bag, Force(Kilogram-Force) = 5 in the above formula.
Force(Giganewtons) = 5 × 9.806650000000272e-9
Force(Giganewtons) = 4.903e-8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 kgf is equal to 4.903e-8 GN.
The force of shopping bag is 4.903e-8 GN, in giganewtons.
Kilogram-Force
Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.
Giganewtons
A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the formula for converting Kilogram-Force to Giganewtons in Force?
The formula to convert Kilogram-Force to Giganewtons in Force is:
Kilogram-Force * 9.806650000000272e-9
2. Is this tool free or paid?
