What is the Formula to convert Kilogram-Force to Newtons?

The formula to convert given force from Kilogram-Force to Newtons is:

Force(Newtons) = Force(Kilogram-Force) × 9.806650000000271

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 newtons, i.e., Force(Newtons).

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 Newtons.

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 newtons is:

Force(Newtons) = Force(Kilogram-Force) × 9.806650000000271

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of lifting the weight, Force(Kilogram-Force) = 70 in the above formula.

Force(Newtons) = 70 × 9.806650000000271

Force(Newtons) = 686.4655

Final Answer:

Therefore, 70 kgf is equal to 686.4655 N.

The force of lifting the weight is 686.4655 N, in newtons.

2

Consider a shopping bag that exerts 5 kilogram-force.
Convert this force from kilogram-force to Newtons.

Answer:

Given:

The force of shopping bag in kilogram-force is:

Force(Kilogram-Force) = 5

Formula:

The formula to convert force from kilogram-force to newtons is:

Force(Newtons) = Force(Kilogram-Force) × 9.806650000000271

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of shopping bag, Force(Kilogram-Force) = 5 in the above formula.

Force(Newtons) = 5 × 9.806650000000271

Force(Newtons) = 49.0333

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 kgf is equal to 49.0333 N.

The force of shopping bag is 49.0333 N, in newtons.

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.

Newtons

A newton is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in honor of his work in physics, particularly his second law of motion. One newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Newtons are widely used to measure forces in engineering, mechanics, and daily life, such as the force you exert when pushing a door.
