Conversion Formula
The formula to convert newtons to grams relies on the relationship between force and mass under Earth’s gravity. Since 1 newton equals the force of gravity on about 101.972 grams, multiplying newtons by this factor gives grams. For example, 10 newtons times 101.972 results in 1,019.72 grams.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 newtons:
- Multiply 5 by 101.972
- 5 x 101.972 = 509.86 grams
- This means 5 newtons equals about 509.86 grams
- Convert 20 newtons:
- Multiply 20 by 101.972
- 20 x 101.972 = 2,039.44 grams
- So, 20 newtons is roughly 2,039.44 grams
- Convert 15 newtons:
- 15 x 101.972
- 15 x 101.972 = 1,529.58 grams
- Thus, 15 newtons equals approximately 1,529.58 grams

Conversion Definitions
Newton: The SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared, representing the force of gravity on a mass of about 101.972 grams on Earth.
Grams: A metric unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram, used to measure the weight of objects, or the mass of substances, in small quantities, especially in scientific and everyday contexts.
Conversion FAQs
Why does multiplying newtons by 101.972 give grams?
This is because under Earth’s gravity, 1 newton equals the force exerted on approximately 101.972 grams. The conversion factor comes from the relationship between force, mass, and gravity, based on the acceleration due to gravity.
Can I convert force in newtons to mass in grams directly?
Yes, by multiplying the force in newtons by 101.972, you directly get the mass in grams that the force could support or represent in Earth’s gravity. It simplifies calculations when you need to switch between force and weight measurements.
What is the significance of the 101.972 factor?
This number represents the grams of mass that experience a gravitational force of 1 newton on Earth. It is derived from Earth’s gravity of approximately 9.80665 m/s² and the definition of the newton.
Is this conversion accurate for other planets?
No, because gravitational acceleration varies from planet to planet. The conversion factor of 101.972 grams per newton applies strictly on Earth. For other planets, the force in grams would need adjustment based on local gravity.
How does gravity affect the conversion from newtons to grams?
Gravity determines the force exerted on a mass. Higher gravity increases force, while lower gravity decreases it. Therefore, the conversion factor changes with gravity; the 101.972 factor is specific to Earth’s gravity.
