Conversion Between Unit of Weight in Different Systems
The unit of weight can be converted from one system to another using following relations:
- 1 dyne = 10-5 N
- 1 pound-force = 4.448 N
- 1 kgf = 9.8 N
- 1 metric ton = 9806.65 N
- 1 quintal = 980 N
Below is a table showing the conversion factors to be used for conversion from one unit of weight to another.

Unit of Weight
Unit of Weight is Newton represented as N, which is also known as the force of gravity on a mass. Weight of the body is the gravitational force by which the earth or any other planet attracts the body. Other weight units are pound-force, metric ton, slug, quintal, kilogram-force (kgf) and dyne.
In this article, we will discuss the definition of weight, unit of weight, conversion between the unit of weight in various systems, and some sample problems related to the unit of weight.
