Newtons to G-Force Calculator

Formula

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

$GF = \frac{F}{m \cdot 9.81}$

Where:

$GF$ is the G-Force
$F$ is the Force in Newtons
$m$ is the Mass in Kilograms

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:

Force ( $F$ ) = 98.1 Newtons
Mass ( $m$ ) = 10 kg

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:

Force ( $F$ ) = 196.2 Newtons
Mass ( $m$ ) = 20 kg

Using the formula:

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

The G-Force is 1 g.
