Newtons to G-Force Calculator

Calculate G-Force



Formula

To calculate the G-Force (\(GF\)):

\[ GF = \frac{F}{m \cdot 9.81} \]

Can Newtons Be Converted to G-Force?

Newtons are a unit of measure of force. A g-force is a unit of acceleration relative to gravity’s acceleration; therefore, to convert between the two, you first need to convert newtons to acceleration by dividing by the object's mass.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ GF = \frac{98.1}{10 \cdot 9.81} = 1 \text{ g} \]

The G-Force is 1 g.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ GF = \frac{196.2}{20 \cdot 9.81} = 1 \text{ g} \]

The G-Force is 1 g.
