Piconewton to kilogram-force converter (pN to kgf)

Conversion Formula

1 pN = 1.02e-13 kgf

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Piconewton = 1.00e-12 newtons
   1 Kilogram-force = 9.807 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 pN = (1.00e-12 N) / (9.807 N/kgf) = 1.02e-13 kgf
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in pN by 1.02e-13 to get the equivalent in kgf

Example Conversion

Convert 5 pN to kgf:

5 pN × 1.02e-13 = 5.10e-13 kgf
