How to Convert Kilogram-force to Newtons
To convert kilogram-force (kgf) to newtons (N), multiply the number of kilogram-force by 9.80665. This is because 1 kilogram-force is equal to approximately 9.80665 newtons.
Formula
Newtons = Kilogram-force × 9.80665
or
N = kgf × 9.80665
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in kilogram-force
- Multiply that number by 9.80665
- The result is the equivalent force in newtons
Examples
- 1 kgf = 1 × 9.80665 = 9.80665 N
- 5 kgf = 5 × 9.80665 = 49.03325 N
- 10 kgf = 10 × 9.80665 = 98.0665 N
