Convert Gram-force to Centinewton

Unit definitions

Gram-force

Gram-force is the force exerted by a mass of one gram in standard gravity ($gₙ$) ($1\ \text{kgf} = 9.806\,65\ \text{N}$).

Centinewton

${10}^{-2}$ newtons equal one centinewton.

How to convert Gram-force to Centinewton

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = \text{Force}_{\text{gf}} \cdot 0.980665$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $45.0\ \text{gf}$ to $\text{cN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 45.0 \cdot 0.980665$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 44.129925$$

$$\therefore \ 45.0\ \text{gf} = 44.129925 \ \text{cN}$$

Example 2

Convert $80.0\ \text{gf}$ to $\text{cN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 80.0 \cdot 0.980665$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 78.4532$$

$$\therefore \ 80.0\ \text{gf} = 78.4532 \ \text{cN}$$

Example 3

Convert $115.0\ \text{gf}$ to $\text{cN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 115.0 \cdot 0.980665$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 112.776475$$

$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{gf} = 112.776475 \ \text{cN}$$

Example 4

Convert $135.0\ \text{gf}$ to $\text{cN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 135.0 \cdot 0.980665$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 132.389775$$

$$\therefore \ 135.0\ \text{gf} = 132.389775 \ \text{cN}$$

Example 5

Convert $160.0\ \text{gf}$ to $\text{cN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 160.0 \cdot 0.980665$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{cN}} = 156.9064$$

$$\therefore \ 160.0\ \text{gf} = 156.9064 \ \text{cN}$$
