What is the Formula to convert Kilogram-Force to Kilonewtons?
The formula to convert given force from Kilogram-Force to Kilonewtons 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 kilonewtons, i.e., Force(Kilonewtons).
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 Kilonewtons.
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 kilonewtons is:
Substitute given weight of shopping bag, Force(Kilogram-Force) = 5 in the above formula.
Force(Kilonewtons) = 5 × 0.009806650000000272
Force(Kilonewtons) = 0.04903325
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 kgf is equal to 0.04903325 kN.
The force of shopping bag is 0.04903325 kN, in kilonewtons.
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.
Kilonewtons
A kilonewton (kN) is equal to 1,000 newtons. It is often used in engineering to express larger forces, such as the load-bearing capacity of materials or the thrust produced by rockets. Kilonewtons make it easier to work with the typically larger forces involved in construction, aerospace, and structural analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the formula for converting Kilogram-Force to Kilonewtons in Force?
The formula to convert Kilogram-Force to Kilonewtons in Force is:
Kilogram-Force * 0.009806650000000272
2. Is this tool free or paid?
