In 1960 the International System of Units (SI) which as unit of measure of force included Newton took effect. It "derivative unit", that is it it is possible to express through other SI. According to the second law of Newton force is equal to the work of body weight on its acceleration. Weight in the SI system is measured in kilograms, and acceleration in meters and seconds therefore 1 Newton is defined as the work of 1 kilogram on 1 meter divided into a second in a square.
Instruction
1. Apply coefficient 0.10197162 to transfer to Newtons of the sizes measured in units with the name "kilogram force" (it is designated as kgf or kg). Such units are often used when calculating in construction as are stated in normative documents Construction Norms and Regulations ("Building regulations"). This unit considers the standard force of an attraction of Earth and one kilogram force it is possible to present as force with which cargo in one kilogram presses on scales somewhere at sea level near the equator of our planet. For transfer of the known number of kgf to Newtons it should be divided into the coefficient given above. For example, 100 kgfs = 100/0.10197162 = 980.66501 N.
2. Use the mathematical abilities and the trained memory for calculations in mind for transfer to Newtons of the sizes measured in kgf. If with it there are any problems, then use the calculator - for example, the fact that the Microsoft corporation carefully inserts into each distribution kit of the Windows operating system. That to open it, it is necessary to go deep into the OS main menu on three levels. At first click the Start-up button to see points of the first level, then open the section "Programs" for access to the second, and then pass into the subsection "Standard" to lines of the third level of the menu. Click that from them in which it is written "Calculator".
3. Allocate and copy (CTRL + C) in this page translation coefficient from kgf in Newtons (0.10197162). Then switch in the interface of the calculator and insert the copied value (CTRL + V) - it is simpler, than to manually gather nine-digit number. Then click the button with a virgule ("slash") and enter the known size measured in units a kilogram force. Click the button with an equal-sign, and the calculator will calculate and will show you value of this size in Newtons.
