Question

Ramu applied a force of 10 N on a body to move it from rest. He wants to express the applied force is in terms of the various system of the unit. Express 10 N force in terms of $kgf.$

• A. $98kgf$
• B. $56kgf$
• C. $1.02kgf$
• D. $84kgf$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $1.02kgf$

The force unit kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by one kilogram mass in earth gravity $(g=9.8m/s^2)$. Thus, one kgf force is exactly equal to $9.8$ newton.

Thus, $1N=1/9.8=0.102kgf$

So, $10N=10\left(0.102\right)kgf=1.02kgf$
