Gram (abbreviation: gm): is a SI (metric) system unit of mass. Where, at the temperature of melting ice, it is the absolute weight of a volume equal to the hundredth part of a metre cube of pure water.
Kilonewton (abbreviation: kN): is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force where 1 kN = 1000 N. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.
How to Convert Grams to Kilonewton
Example: How many kilonewton are equivalent to 14.77 grams?
As;
1 grams = 9.8066358553261E-6 kilonewton
14.77 grams = Y kilonewton
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 14.77 times 9.8066358553261E-6 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 14.77 * 9.8066358553261E-6 / 1 = 0.00014484401158317 kilonewton
Answer is: 0.00014484401158317 kilonewton are equivalent to 14.77 grams.
