Does anybody know the equations that you use for this conversion? I'm having trouble remembering.
-Thanks, Lucien

To convert kilograms to newtons, multiply by 9.807.

Thanks a ton! To convert grams to newtons, Do I multiply by 9807? And so on ?

Thanks for replying so fast,
Lucien

No. Remember that a gram is 1/1000 of a kilogram;therefore it would be "grams" X 9.807 then divided by 1000. Or "grams" X .0009807.
Check the above link for any other conversions

Oops! XD that was dumb of me. Thanks for the help!
By the way, I already searched that site and couldn't find me. Probably didn't look hard enough though.

Repost from yesterday (it got wiped):

As a more rigorous answer, F = ma, m is the mass in kg, a is the acceleration due to gravity (9.807 is only the average, this varies quite a lot dependent on where you are on earth, and 9.807 is far more accurate than you can be unless g has been measured exactly where you are). F is the force in newtons!
