Kilogram-force to teranewton converter (kgf to TN)

Conversion Formula

1 kgf = 9.81e-12 TN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilogram-force = 9.807 newtons
   1 Teranewton = 1,000,000,000,000 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kgf = (9.807 N) / (1,000,000,000,000 N/TN) = 9.81e-12 TN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kgf by 9.81e-12 to get the equivalent in TN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kgf to TN:

5 kgf × 9.81e-12 = 4.90e-11 TN
