70 kg is approximately 686 newtons. This conversion shows how weight in kilograms relates to force in newtons under Earth’s gravity, indicating the force exerted by a 70 kg mass due to gravity.
To convert kilograms to newtons, multiply the mass in kg by the acceleration due to gravity (about 9.81 m/s²). This gives the weight or force in newtons, which measures how much gravity pulls the object down.
Conversion Result
The weight of 70 kg in newtons is 686 N.

Conversion Formula
The conversion from kg to newtons relies on multiplying the mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²). This works because weight is a force, calculated by F = m * g, where m is mass in kg and g is gravity.
For example, for 70 kg: 70 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 686.7 N. This calculation assumes standard gravity, which is the average acceleration of gravity on Earth’s surface.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50 kg to newtons:
- Step 1: Take the mass 50 kg.
- Step 2: Multiply 50 by 9.81 (gravity).
- Step 3: 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N.
- Convert 85 kg to newtons:
- Step 1: Mass is 85 kg.
- Step 2: Multiply 85 by 9.81.
- Step 3: 85 * 9.81 = 833.85 N.
- Convert 60 kg to newtons:
- Step 1: Mass is 60 kg.
- Step 2: Multiply 60 by 9.81.
- Step 3: 60 * 9.81 = 588.6 N.

Conversion Definitions
kg: Kilogram is a unit of mass measuring how much matter an object contains. It is part of the International System of Units (SI) and used worldwide to quantify weight and matter in scientific and everyday contexts.
Newtons: Newtons are units of force representing how much push or pull acts on an object. It combines mass and acceleration; one newton equals the force needed to accelerate 1 kg at 1 m/s², measuring weight or force due to gravity.
Conversion FAQs
Why does multiplying by 9.81 give the weight in newtons?
Because gravity accelerates objects at about 9.81 meters per second squared on Earth, multiplying mass by this acceleration yields the force or weight in newtons, which is the measure of gravity’s pull on the object.
Is the conversion different on other planets?
Yes, because gravity varies across planets. The 9.81 m/s² value is specific to Earth. On planets with different gravity, you’d multiply the mass by that planet’s gravity value to find the weight in newtons.
Can I convert kg to newtons directly without formulas?
No, because kilograms measure mass, not force. To find the force in newtons, you must multiply by the acceleration due to gravity. This is a necessary step for accurate conversion of mass to weight.
What happens if I use a different gravity value?
If you use a gravity value other than 9.81, the result will reflect weight on a different celestial body or under different conditions. For Earth’s average, 9.81 is standard, but for Moon or Mars, different values apply.
