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.
Newton (abbreviation: N): is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion. One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in direction of the applied force.
How to Convert Grams to Newtons
Example: How many newtons are equivalent to 82.44 grams?
As;
1 grams = 0.00980665 newtons
82.44 grams = Y newtons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 82.44 times 0.00980665 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 82.44 * 0.00980665 / 1 = 0.808460226 newtons
Answer is: 0.808460226 newtons are equivalent to 82.44 grams.
