Kilograms to Newtons Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kilograms to newtons is straightforward:
1 kilogram = 9.80665 newtons
This means that for every 1 kilogram of mass, the force exerted due to gravity (the weight) is equal to 9.80665 newtons. This conversion factor is derived from the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, which is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared.
How to Convert Kilograms to Newtons: Step-by-Step
To convert kilograms to newtons, follow these simple steps:
- Identify the mass in kilograms that you want to convert.
- Multiply the mass in kilograms by 9.80665.
- The result is the equivalent force in newtons.
Kilograms to Newtons Conversion Examples
- 10 kilograms = 10 x 9.80665 = 98.0665 newtons
- 25 kilograms = 25 x 9.80665 = 245.1663 newtons
- 0.5 kilograms = 0.5 x 9.80665 = 4.90333 newtons
