How to Convert Kilogram-force to Newton

Conversion Formula

1 kgf = 9.807 N

Step-by-Step Explanation

  1. Understand the base relationship:
    1 Kilogram-force = 9.807 newtons
    1 Newton = 1.000 newtons
  2. Establish the conversion factor:
    1 kgf = (9.807 N) / (1.000 N/N) = 9.807 N
  3. Apply the conversion:
    Multiply the value in kgf by 9.807 to get the equivalent in N

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kgf to N:

5 kgf × 9.807 = 49.033 N
