Convert between Newton and Gram-Force with step-by-step calculations.
Unit Information
Newton (N)
The SI derived unit of force.
System: SI
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
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Newton as the base unit. We'll first convert Newton to Newton, then convert from Newton to Gram-Force.
Step 1: Convert from Newton to Newton
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Newton
Step 2: Convert from Newton to Gram-Force
1 × 101.97 = 101.97
Result: 101.97 Gram-Force
Direct Conversion Factor
1 × 101.97 = 101.97
Direct conversion: 1 Newton = 101.97 Gram-Force
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
