In kilograms, to be exact, in kilogram forces, force is measured in the MKGSS system (reduction from "Meter, Kilogram Sil, Secunda"). This set of standards of units of measure is used today seldom as it is forced out by other international system - SI. In it other units called Newtons therefore sometimes it is necessary to resort to converting of values from kilograms forces in Newtons and derivatives of unit of measure from them are intended for measurement of force.
Instruction
1. Determine the accuracy from which you need to transfer a reference value to kilonewtons. The kilogram force is defined in the MKGSS system as force with which it is necessary to influence a body weighing one kilogram to give it the acceleration equal of 9.80665 m/s² - it recommends to read out acceleration of gravity on our planet from the beginning of the last century. Round this number depending on converting accuracy degree necessary to you.
2. You recognize that to one kilogram force there correspond 9.80665 not rounded Newtons. As the multiplier equal to one thousand units is fixed in the SI system behind the kilogram prefix, to a kilonewton there will correspond the initial coefficient divided into this number: 1 kgfs = 0.00980665 kN.
3. Multiply the value set in kilogram forces by the coefficient 0.00980665 rounded to the necessary degree of accuracy to learn its equivalent in kilonewtons.
4. Use any online calculator for practical converting of units of force. For example, it can be the service placed on the http://convertworld.com/ru/massa/Килоньютон.html page. Having loaded it, enter into the field under the inscription "I Want to Translate" a reference value in kilogram forces. Then in the drop-down list placed near the entry field choose the line "Kilogram (Kg)", and specify the necessary number of signs after a decimal comma in the following same list. You will see result of converting right after it is it will be placed in the second line of a column with heading "Metric" and marked with the inscription "Kilonewton".
5. If Internet access is absent, then make necessary calculations independently, having used, for example, the standard calculator from structure of programs of the Windows operating system. Look for the reference to its start in the OS main menu opened by click on the Start-up button.
