Convert between Newton and Kilogram-Force with step-by-step calculations.
Unit Information
Newton (N)
The SI derived unit of force.
System: SI
Kilogram-Force (kgf)
A metric unit of force equal to the force exerted by a mass of one kilogram 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 Kilogram-Force.
Step 1: Convert from Newton to Newton
1 × 1 = 1
Result: 1 Newton
Step 2: Convert from Newton to Kilogram-Force
1 × 0.1019716212977928 = 0.1019716212977928
Result: 0.1019716212977928 Kilogram-Force
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 9.81 = 0.1019716212977928
Direct conversion: 1 Newton = 0.1019716212977928 Kilogram-Force
Kilogram-Force (kgf)
System: Metric Gravitational
Definition:1 kilogram-force = 1 kg × g_standard = 9.80665 Newtons (exact).
Origin: Based on the gravitational force exerted on a kilogram mass.
Common Usage: Widely used in engineering and many practical applications where force is related to mass under gravity. Equivalent to the kilopond.
Synonyms: kg-force, kilopond, kp
