Convert between Gram-Force and Kilonewton with step-by-step calculations.
Unit Information
Gram-Force (gf)
A metric unit of force equal to the force exerted by a mass of one gram under standard gravity.
System: Metric Gravitational
Kilonewton (kN)
A metric unit of force equal to one thousand newtons.
System: SI
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Newton as the base unit. We'll first convert Gram-Force to Newton, then convert from Newton to Kilonewton.
Step 1: Convert from Gram-Force to Newton
1 × 0.00980665 = 0.00980665
Result: 0.00980665 Newton
Step 2: Convert from Newton to Kilonewton
0.00980665 × 0.001 = 9.81e-6
Result: 9.81e-6 Kilonewton
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 101,971.62 = 9.81e-6
Direct conversion: 1 Gram-Force = 9.81e-6 Kilonewton
Gram-Force (gf)
System: Metric Gravitational
Definition:1 gram-force = 1 g × g_standard = 0.001 kg × 9.80665 m/s² = 0.00980665 Newtons (exact).
Origin: Based on the gravitational force exerted on a gram mass.
Common Usage: Used in some engineering and testing applications, particularly for small forces. Equivalent to the pond.
Synonyms: g-force, pond, p
