What is the Formula to convert Kilonewtons to Kilogram-Force?
The formula to convert given force from Kilonewtons to Kilogram-Force is:
Substitute the given value of force in kilonewtons, i.e., Force(Kilonewtons) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the force in kilogram-force, i.e., Force(Kilogram-Force).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider a crane exerting a force of 2 kilonewtons to lift a heavy load. Convert this force from kilonewtons to Kilogram-Force.
Answer:
Given:
The force of crane lifting a load in kilonewtons is:
Force(Kilonewtons) = 2
Formula:
The formula to convert force from kilonewtons to kilogram-force is:
Substitute given weight of elevator, Force(Kilonewtons) = 5 in the above formula.
Force(Kilogram-Force) = 5 × 101.97162129779
Force(Kilogram-Force) = 509.8581
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 kN is equal to 509.8581 kgf.
The force of elevator is 509.8581 kgf, in kilogram-force.
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.
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.
