Question

is anyone familiar with the unit of force: kilogramweight? how is it related to newtons

Answer 1

F = Ma
M = mass = Kg
a = acceleration = m/s2

therefore, F = Kg * m/s2 = N

N = newton

Answer 2

weight is just another force..which we apply on ground ..

and thus is the definiton..

Answer 3

yup 1N=1kgms-2

Answer 4

nope....

Answer 5

but whats kilogram weight??
1kgweight=gN 1N=1/g kg weight

Answer 6

nope?

Answer 7

whats acceleration ?? i mean what is gravitational force of the earth ?

Answer 8

? what do u mean

Answer 9

g = gravitational force...
what is that ???

Answer 10

gravitational constant 9.8m/s2?

Answer 11

right...

Answer 12

F = Ma
assume, F = 1N and M = 1Kg

Therefore,

1 N = 9.81 Kg/ m2

Answer 13

understood ??

Answer 14

oh so you just use f=ma F=1N, a=g and m=1kg

Answer 15

yup...

Answer 16

wait so.. how to get 1N=1/g kgweight?

Answer 17

ok..

Answer 18

u sure, its 1/ g ??

Answer 19

Units:
SI unit: Newton (N). A net force of 1 N causes a mass of 1 kg to accelerate at 1 ms-2.
Alternative unit: Kilogram weight (kg wt). A force of 1 kg wt is the force exerted by gravity on a mass of 1 kg.
1
Conversion of units: 1 kg wt = g N, 1 N = 1/g kg wt .

Answer 20

idunno thats what it says

Answer 21

it is simply equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by one kg of mass in a 9.8 ms^-2 gravitational field(on earth)
1KgF = 9.80665 N

and F and weight are congruent..

Answer 22

lil confusing for me as well...
