The formula
N = kgf × 9.80665
Worked through with a real value: 10 kilograms-force = 98.0665 newtons.
Going the other way: kgf = N × 0.101972, so 1 newton = 0.101972 kilograms-force.
What each unit is
- kilogram-force kgf
- The force exerted by one kilogram mass under standard gravity at sea level. Approximately 9.81 newtons.
- newton N
- The SI unit of force, equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram at one metre per second squared.
Where these come from
- 1 kilogram-force = 9.80665 newtons
Every other number on this page is computed from those, and each category is pinned to conversions worked out by hand from the units' primary definitions before it ships.
