Understanding Force Conversion
What is Kilogram-Force (kgf)?
A kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI unit of force equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. It's approximately equal to 9.80665 N, which is the standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) times one kilogram.
What is Newton (N)?
The newton (N) is the SI unit of force. One newton is defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one meter per second squared in the direction of the applied force. It's the standard unit used in scientific and engineering calculations.
