Converting from Newton (N) to Kilopond (kp)

What is Newton (N)

Newton (N) is the international unit of force in the metric system. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.

What is Kilopond (kp)

Kilopond (kp) is a unit of force that was commonly used in the past. It is based on the force exerted by one kilogram of mass due to Earth's gravity. Kilopond is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on a mass of one kilogram at sea level.
