OverviewA force converted between newtons and their multiples, dynes, kilograms-force and pounds-force.
A force converted between newtons and their multiples, dynes, kilograms-force and pounds-force. The kgf and lbf rely on the standard acceleration of gravity g₀ = 9.80665 m/s², fixed by convention: their factors are exact.
Method & formulasF(N) = m(kg) × g₀
F(N) = m(kg) × g₀g₀ = 9.80665 m/s² (exactly)
The kilogram-force and pound-force are the forces exerted by one kilogram and one pound under standard gravity, a conventional value fixed in 1901. Real gravity varies by about 0.5% between the equator and the poles.

The dyneThe dyne (10⁻⁵ N) is the CGS unit of force.
The dyne (10⁻⁵ N) is the CGS unit of force. It remains common for surface tensions, in dyn/cm, numerically equal to the same values in mN/m.
