How to convert kilonewtons to tonnes-force
1 kilonewton = 0.1019716213 tonnes-force and 1 tonne-force = 9.80665 kilonewtons. To convert kilonewtons to tonnes-force, divide by 9.80665:
tf = kN ÷ 9.80665
Examples
- 10 kN ÷ 9.80665 = 1.019716213 tf
- 100 kN ÷ 9.80665 = 10.19716213 tf
- 500 kN ÷ 9.80665 = 50.98581065 tf
