How to convert Gram-force to Newtons?
Gram-force (gf) is based on the weight of 1 gram under standard gravity. Newton (N) is the SI unit of force. The relationship is:
- 1 gf = 0.00980665 N
- 1 N ≈ 101.9716 gf
To convert Gram-force to Newtons, multiply the value by 0.00980665.
Formula: Newtons = Gram-force × 0.00980665
Step-by-Step Calculation
- Take the number of Gram-force you want to convert (e.g., 1000 gf).
- Multiply that value by 0.00980665.
- The result is the value in Newtons. (Example: 1000 × 0.00980665 = 9.80665 N).
