It supports newtons (N), kilonewtons (kN), pound-force (lbf), dyne, and kilogram-force (kgf).
Mass is the amount of matter in an object (kg). Force is mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma). Weight is the force due to gravity acting on a mass.
1 pound-force equals approximately 4.448 newtons.
Weight is the gravitational force acting on a mass. On Earth, a 1 kg mass has a weight of approximately 9.81 newtons.
A dyne is the CGS unit of force. 1 newton equals 100,000 dynes. Dynes are used in older scientific literature and some specialised fields.
Force calculations are fundamental in structural engineering, mechanical design, and physics. F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration) is the core equation.
The standard gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.80665 m/s². A 1 kg mass experiences a gravitational force of 9.80665 newtons.
