A force converter helps engineers, students, and hobbyists switch between the metric newton and other common force units.

Key Conversion Factors

  • 1 newton (N) = 0.224809 pound-force (lbf)
  • 1 kilogram-force (kgf) = 9.80665 newtons
  • 1 dyne = 0.00001 newtons

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a newton?

A newton is the SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate a 1 kg mass at 1 meter per second squared.

How do I convert newtons to pound-force?

Multiply the newton value by 0.224809 to get pound-force (lbf).

What is kgf used for?

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a legacy metric force unit still used in some engineering and consumer contexts, equal to the force exerted by gravity on a 1 kg mass.
