No. Kilogram is a unit of mass only. Weight is measured in units of force; the SI unit for force is the Newton.
How many kilogram in 1kilonewton?
A kilogram is a unit of mass, a Newton is a unit of force. They are not the same thing. On Earth, each kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 Newton, so assuming the 1 KN (1000 N) is a weight, you can divide 1000 by 9.8 to get the equivalent mass.
What are the fundamental quantities of weight?
In the metric system they weight is measured in Newton. Not gram or kilogram, which are measures of mass, not weight.
What is the mass of a 100 pound weight in kilograms?
A mass of 100 pounds, weighs approx 444.5 Newtons. A kilogram is not a measure of weight, a Newton is.
How do you convert weight to mass in kilograms?
On Earth . . . -- 1 pound is the weight of 0.4536 kilograms of mass -- 1 newton is the weight of 0.10197 kilogram (101.97 grams) of mass -- 1 kilogram of mass weighs 2.20462 pounds (9.8 newtons) The numbers are different in other places.
