Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Newton?
A Newton (N) is the SI unit of force. It is the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram at 1 meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²).
How do I convert pounds-force to Newtons?
Multiply pound-force by 4.448. Example: 10 lbf = 44.48 N.
What is kilogram-force?
Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by 1 kg under standard gravity. 1 kgf = 9.80665 N.
What is a dyne?
A dyne is a CGS unit of force equal to 0.00001 Newtons (10⁻⁵ N).
