Newton to KG Conversion Formula
The formula for this conversion is:
Mass (kg) = Force (N) / Acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s². Therefore, the simplified formula becomes:
Mass (kg) = Force (N) / 9.81For example, if you have a force of 100 Newtons: Mass = 100 N / 9.81 m/s² ≈ 10.19 kg
How Do You Convert Newton Force to kg?
Here’s a step-by-step process:
- Identify the force in Newtons
- Divide the force by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)
- The result is the equivalent mass in kilograms
Suppose you have a force of 250 Newtons and want to find the equivalent mass in kilograms.
- Force = 250 N
- Mass = 250 N / 9.81 m/s²
- Mass ≈ 25.48 kg
Why is 1 kg Equal to 10 Newton?
1 kg of mass experiences a gravitational force (weight) of approximately 9.81 N on Earth’s surface. This is because:
Weight (N) = Mass (kg) Acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
Weight = 1 kg 9.81 m/s² ≈ 9.81 N
For practical purposes, this is often rounded to 10 N, making it easier to perform quick mental calculations. This approximation introduces a small error (about 1.9%), which is acceptable in many everyday situations but may not be suitable for precise scientific or engineering applications.
A 1 kg bag of flour would exert a force of approximately 9.81 N on a scale. In everyday language, we might say it “weighs about 10 Newtons.”
