Convert kilograms force to newton, abbreviated as kgf to N. This is based formula: 1 kilograms force = 9.80665 newton, under this rule, kilograms forces can be easily converted into newtons. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
The force which applied on the one kilogram of mass of object to change the acceleration is called kilogram force.
For example the force applied on 1kg of football to change its motion will be one kilogram force.
As discussed above, it has close relation with gram force with a difference in mass for both of units.
It is represented with kgf.
In SI one kgf = 9.80665 m/s2
It is the most widely used unit for representing force.
The force applied on a body of 1kg to bring an acceleration of meter per square second.
Its named after the scientist sit Isaac newton for honoring his services in classical mechanics. This name is given in 1948 by the CGPM resolution.
This concept was described by newton in 2nd law of motion where an expression given below explains the relation between force on mass to accelerate it. The force applied on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the object to cause acceleration in it.
F=ma (newton second law of motion)
It is represented with N.
1N = 1 kg·m/s2
If you want to know how to convert kilograms force to newton, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
The Kilograms Force to Newton formula is:
1 Kilograms Force = 9.80665 newton
Or convert the formula:
1 newton = 0.1019716 kilograms force
Through the formula, two answers can be easily obtained:
In other words, 1 kilograms force equal to 9.80665 newton. To convert kilograms forces to newtons, just multiply kilograms force by 9.80665 or divide by 0.1019716.
For example, convert 10 kgf to N
10 kgf = 10 × 9.80665 N = 98.0665 N
or
10 ÷ 0.1019716 = 98.0665 N
Through the above content, now you know how to convert kilograms force to newton.
But what if you need to reverse conversion newton to kilograms force or convert kilograms forces into other force units? Don’t be nervous, convertfreedom site are all ready for you, just click the corresponding link below.
