Common force conversion mistakes
-
The kilogram is a mass and the newton is a force. A bathroom scale displays kilograms but senses a force, converting for you with the earth's gravity built in. On the moon the same scale would read a sixth, while the mass is exactly the same.

Kilogram-force and kilonewton sound close but sit a factor of 102 apart: 1 kgf = 9.80665 N while 1 kN = 1000 N. Older European machine plates give force in kp, modern ones in kN.
