Converting from Newton (N) to Kilogram-force (kgf)

What is Newton (N)

Newton (N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one metre per second squared.

What is Kilogram-force (kgf)

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force that is derived from the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. It is commonly used in countries where the metric system is prevalent.
