How do you convert kilograms to newtons?

Answer 1

Kilograms to Newtons, just multiply the Mass in kilograms by 9.81 and you will have your Newtons

True on the surface of the earth, but nowhere else. These things are different, like a cat is not like a drop of water, So they are not inter-convertible. The gravitational force (in Newtons) on a mass (in kg) is its mass multiplied by the local value of the acceleration due to gravity.

Answer 2

To convert kilograms to newtons, you can use the formula: force (in newtons) = mass (in kilograms) x acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2). So, multiply the mass in kilograms by 9.81 to get the force in newtons.

Answer 3

You cannot. A Newton is a measure of weight while a kilogram is a measure of mass. The two measure different things and conversion from one to the other is not appropriate. You body will have the same mass (in kilograms) whether you are on the earth or the moon. But your weight on the moon (in Newtons) will be only a sixth of your weight on earth. Even on the surface of the earth, your weight can vary by up to 5% simply because of variations in the gravitational force.

Answer 4

"Kg" is a unit of mass. "Newton" is a unit of force. The two quantities are different

physical dimensions, and their units can't be converted into each other.

On Earth, 1 kg of mass weighs 9.8 Newtons, and 3.2 kg of mass weighs

31.4 Newtons.

Answer 5

I you have the weight in Newtons divide that by gravity (9.80 m/s2) and that should be the weight in kilograms

Answer 6

kg x 9.81 = Newton (to nearest 2nd decimal).

1 kg = 9.81 N on the Earth's surface.

Answer 7

Kg-wt is the gravitational force experienced by an object. The relation between 1kg-wt and Newton is given by 1kg-wt =9.81N.
