All force conversions use Newtons (N) as the base unit.
Metric conversions:
- 1 kN = 1,000 N
- 1 dyne = 0.00001 N (1 N = 100,000 dyne)
Cross-system conversions:
- 1 N = 0.224809 lbf (pound-force)
- 1 N = 0.101972 kgf (kilogram-force)
- 1 lbf = 4.44822 N
- 1 kgf = 9.80665 N (exact, based on standard gravity)
Common references:
- Gravity on a 1 kg object = 9.80665 N (1 kgf)
- A typical apple weighs about 1 N
