The force conversion tool allows you to convert any force to the equivalent force in other measurement units. This tool calculates the equivalent values of mechanical force units such as Newton [N], Kilonewton [kN], kilogram-force [kgf] and more. Select the unit to convert to and enter the value to convert from into the box. The conversion result will immediately appear.
Unit of FORCE in different system
Force - a physical quantity that describes the physical interaction between bodies. The SI unit for force is the Newton (N). The force is equal to one N if it accelerates a mass of one kilogram to 1 meter per second squared. 1 Newton is equal to the force, which grants a body of mass 1 kg the acceleration 1 m/s². The unit symbol is N and the symbol of the force is F (force). Force of weight is FG = m × g, Mass = m and gravity g = 9.80665 m/s².
Force formula:
F = m * a
Where:
m - mass
a - acceleration

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert force units to Newtons?
To simply convert from any unit into newtons, for example, from 20 kilogram-force, just multiply by the conversion value in the right column in the table below. To convert from N into units in the left column divide by the value in the right column or, multiply by the reciprocal, 1/x.
Is KGF same as Newton?
The deprecated unit kilogram-force (kgf) or kilopond (kp) is the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity (defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s²). One kilogram-force is equal to exactly 9.80665 newtons.
What is a Newton unit conversion?
One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
Is KGF a unit of force?
The kilogram-force (kgf or kgF), or kilopond (kp, from Latin: pondus, lit. 'weight'), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. That is, it is the weight of a kilogram under standard gravity. Therefore, one kilogram-force is by definition equal to 9.80665 N.
What is Newton formula?
Force (Newton) = Mass of body × Acceleration. Or, F = [M1 L0 T0] × [M0 L1 T-2] = M1 L1 T-2. Therefore, Newton is dimensionally represented as M1 L1 T-2.
What does 1000 Newtons feel like?
A thousand newtons of force is what you feel if a very muscular or rather fat person (weighing in at about 100 kg or 220 lbs) is standing on you. It is also the force needed to lift that person.
What does 40 kN mean?
kilonewton 40 stn (sthene) The force value 40 kN (kilonewton) in words is "fourty kN (kilonewton)".
How is 1 kgf related to the SI unit of force?
1kgf is the force with which the earth attracts a body of mass 1kg towards its centre. 1kgf is the weight of a mass of 1 kg at a place where acceleration due to gravity,g=9.80665m. So, 1kgf=9.80665N, this is the required relation.
Is there a formula for gravity?
The mathematical formula for gravitational force is F=GMmr2 F = G Mm r 2 where G is the gravitational constant.
How much is 200 newtons of force?
Convert 200 Newtons to Pounds force 200 Newtons (N) 44.962 Pounds force (lb) 1 N = 0.224809 lb 1 lb = 4.448220 N
