Centinewton to kilogram-force converter (cN to kgf)

Conversion Formula

1 cN = 0.001020 kgf

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Centinewton = 0.010000 newtons
   1 Kilogram-force = 9.807 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 cN = (0.010000 N) / (9.807 N/kgf) = 0.001020 kgf
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in cN by 0.001020 to get the equivalent in kgf

Example Conversion

Convert 5 cN to kgf:

5 cN × 0.001020 = 0.005099 kgf
