Converting from Newton (N) to Gram-force (gf)

What is Newton (N)

Newton (N) is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), named after Sir Isaac Newton. One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared.

What is Gram-force (gf)

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units. It is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in a gravitational field.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Newton (N) to Gram-force (gf), you can use the following formula:

Gram-force (gf)=Newton (N)×101.9716

To convert from Gram-force (gf) to Newton (N), use the formula:

Newton (N)=Gram-force (gf)×0.00980665

Examples

1. Converting 11 Newton (N) to Gram-force (gf):

11N=11×101.9716=1121.688gf

2. Converting 17 Gram-force (gf) to Newton (N):

17gf=17×0.00980665=0.166713N

3. Converting 7 Newton (N) to Gram-force (gf):

7N=7×101.9716=713.8013gf

Note:

Always ensure that you use the correct conversion factor based on the specific units you are working with, whether Newton (N) or Gram-force (gf).
