Kilogram-Force to Newtons Converter
Definition
A kilogram-force (kgf or kilopond) is a unit of force equal to the gravitational force on a 1-kilogram mass at standard Earth gravity, approximately 9.80665 newtons. A newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as 1 kg·m/s², used universally in science.
History
The kilogram-force was introduced in the 19th century in metric countries, simplifying engineering calculations by equating force to mass under gravity, though it’s non-SI. The newton, named after isaac newton, was adopted in 1948 by the SI system, replacing older units like kgf for consistency in physics.
