How many newtons are in a gram?

Answer 1

Newtons are a SI unit of force (kg*m/s2) while grams is a SI unit of mass--therefore the two are not convertable.

If you are trying to convert from mass to weight, multiply the mass by gravity. (9.81 m/s2)

Answer 2

0.01. A better question is, how many grams in a newton which is 100. However, since the newton of a unit of force, it is most accurate to say that there are 100 grams of force in 1 newton.

============================

Except that a gram is a mass, not a force.

100 grams of mass weigh 0.981 Newton if they happen to be on or near the Earth.

But they only weigh 0.162 Newton if they're on the Moon.

Answer 3

You cannot convert from gram to Newton because conversions of units are possible only for similar physical quantities. gram is the unit of mass and Newton of Force. They wouldn't be required to convert.

Answer 4

A grams is a measure of mass whereas a Newton is a measure of force. The two measure different things and, according to the basic principles of dimensional analyses, conversion from one to the other is not valid. It would be like converting temperature into distance!

Answer 5

You must first convert to kg. Then times that by 9.81N.

Example:

12.0g= 0.012kg x ( 9.81N/1kg)= 0.118N

*1kg=9.81N

Answer 6

On Earth, 1 gram of mass weighs 0.0098 newton.

Answer 7

You must first convert to kg. Then times that by 9.81N.

Example:

12.0g= 0.012kg x ( 9.81N/1kg)= 0.118N

*1kg=9.81N

Answer 8

101.97 grams.

Answer 9

10N=1kg at earths gravity
