Understanding Kilogram-force and Newtons
What is Kilogram-force (kgf)?
Kilogram-force (kgf), or kilopond (kp), is a gravitational metric unit of force. It is the force exerted on a one-kilogram mass in a standard gravitational field (approximately 9.80665 m/s²).
What is a Newton (N)?
The Newton (N) is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²).
Why Convert Kilogram-force to Newtons?
Converting kilogram-force to Newtons is important for standardizing force measurements in scientific and engineering work. While kgf provides an intuitive sense of "weight," the Newton is the universally accepted unit in physics for calculations involving force, mass, and acceleration. Our converter uses the standard conversion: 1 kgf ≈ 9.80665 N.
