Conversion Formula
The formula to convert newtons (n) to kilograms (kg) is: mass (kg) = force (n) / gravity (m/s²). Since gravity on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s², dividing the force in newtons by 9.81 gives the mass in kg. For example, 60 n divided by 9.81 equals about 6.11 kg, but note the previous calculation used the inverse for clarity.
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 n to kg:
- Step 1: Write down the force: 100 n
- Step 2: Divide by gravity (9.81): 100 / 9.81 ≈ 10.19 kg
- Step 3: Result is approximately 10.19 kg
- Convert 45 n to kg:
- Step 1: Force is 45 n
- Step 2: Divide by 9.81: 45 / 9.81 ≈ 4.59 kg
- Step 3: So, 45 n equals about 4.59 kg
- Convert 75 n to kg:
- Step 1: Force is 75 n
- Step 2: Divide by 9.81: 75 / 9.81 ≈ 7.65 kg
- Step 3: The mass is approximately 7.65 kg

Conversion Definitions
“n,” or newton, is a unit of force representing the force needed to accelerate a 1 kg mass at 1 m/s². “kg,” or kilogram, is a basic SI unit of mass, measuring the amount of matter in an object, independent of gravity. Converting n to kg involves dividing force by gravity.
Conversion FAQs
Why do I need to divide force in newtons by gravity to find mass in kg?
This is because force (n) equals mass times gravity (F=ma). To find mass, rearranged as m=F/g, dividing force in newtons by 9.81 m/s² yields the mass in kg. This calculation assumes Earth’s gravity and is not valid on other planets unless adjusted.
Can I convert 60 n to kg directly without calculations?
Not exactly, because the conversion depends on gravity. To get an accurate mass, you must divide 60 n by 9.81. Without performing this division, the mass estimate remains approximate. Using calculators makes this process quick and precise.
What happens if gravity is different from Earth’s gravity?
If gravity differs, the force in newtons for an object of a certain mass will change accordingly. To convert force to mass accurately, you need to use the local gravity value. For example, on the moon, gravity is about 1.62 m/s², so the calculation would be different.
