Question: what is the difference between kgf and newton?
Answer: 1 Newton is the force that accelerates a mass of 1kg at 1 metre per second per second. 1 kgf is the force of gravity on a mass of 1kg (at the Earth's surface). Since gravity accelerates anything at all at 9.8 metres per second per second, 1kgf = 9.8 Newtons.
