Atomic unit of force to kilogram-force converter (au to kgf)

Conversion Formula

1 au = 8.40e-9 kgf

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Atomic unit of force = 8.24e-8 newtons
   1 Kilogram-force = 9.807 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 au = (8.24e-8 N) / (9.807 N/kgf) = 8.40e-9 kgf
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in au by 8.40e-9 to get the equivalent in kgf

Example Conversion

Convert 5 au to kgf:

5 au × 8.40e-9 = 4.20e-8 kgf
