| • Conversions of force units F • Newton is the SI basic unit of force 1 N = 1 kg · m / s2 The unit sign is N and the symbol of force is F (force) Force of weight FG = m · g; mass = m and gravity acceleration g = 9.80665 m/s2 The gravitational force is the force type in everyday life we constantly have to do. See also: weight units Fill in the appropriate line the known force value Attention: Do not re-enter the exact number of an answer. |
The question: "What is the weight of one kilopond? (kilogram force kgf)" is easy to answer.
The kilopond is old and of no use. Do not think about it: One kilopond = 1 kp weighs exact 1 kilogram = 1 kg.
Who wants to know more: In 1960 the force unit kilopond was changed to Newton in the SI system. 1 kp = 9.80665 N.
1 kg on the surface of the Earth weighs 9.8 N, because 1 kg × 9.8 m/s = 9.8 N.
In daily life on Earth we take 1 Newton (force) = 102 grams (weight).
