kN to gf Converter - Kilonewton to Gram Force

Conversion derivation

Express both kN and gf in the same base unit N (newton), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite kN in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{kN}=1,000\mathrm{N}$$
2. 2

   Rewrite gf in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{gf}=0.00980665\mathrm{N}$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{kN}& =\frac{1,000\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}{0.00980665\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}\times 1\mathrm{gf}\\ & =\frac{1,000}{0.00980665}\mathrm{gf}\\ & =101,971.621298\mathrm{gf}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{gf}& =\frac{0.00980665\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}{1,000\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}\times 1\mathrm{kN}\\ & =\frac{0.00980665}{1,000}\mathrm{kN}\\ & =0.00000980665\mathrm{kN}\end{array}$$
