Convert force between newtons, kilonewtons, pounds-force, kilograms-force, and dynes in one place. Pick the units you have and the units you want for physics problems, engineering specs, and equipment ratings.
How this is calculated
Every unit is defined against the newton. Kilograms-force uses standard gravity, 9.80665 N, and pounds-force uses the exact definition 0.45359237 times 9.80665, about 4.448222 N. A dyne is 1e-5 N. The tool converts through newtons.
How to use
