Convert Newton to Kilogram-force
Instantly convert Newton to Kilogram-force with our advanced Force calculator. Whether you need precise calculations for Newton or Kilogram-force, this tool provides accurate results with related formulas and conversion tables.
What is a Newton?
The Newton (N) is the SI derived unit of force. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one meter per second squared.
What is a Kilogram-force?
The Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI gravitational metric unit of force, equal to the force exerted by standard gravity on one kilogram of mass.
How to Convert Newton to Kilogram-force
To convert Newton to Kilogram-force, divide the Newton value by 10.
kgf = N ÷ 10Manual Calculation Steps
Step 1: Identify the Formula
The standard formula to convert from Newton to Kilogram-force is:
kgf = N ÷ 10Step 2: Plug in the Value
Substitute the value you want to convert (for example, 5 N) into the formula.
Step 3: Calculate the Result
Perform the calculation to get the result in Kilogram-force.
