Converting from Dyne (dyn) to Kilogram-force (kgf) | Force

What is Dyne (dyn)

Dyne (dyn) is a unit of force in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram by one centimeter per second squared.

What is Kilogram-force (kgf)

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force in the gravitational metric system. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram under standard gravity.
