1 nanonewton (n) equals 1.0 x 10-12 kilograms (kg).
Since force in newtons (N) relates to mass in kilograms (kg) through Newton’s second law, F = m × a, but here, “n” is a unit of force, and kg is a mass unit, the conversion is based on the acceleration due to gravity. 1 n equals 1 x 10-12 kg when considering the force needed to accelerate mass at 1 m/s² under standard gravity.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert nanonewtons (n) to kilograms (kg) is: kg = n × 1×10-12. This works because 1 newton equals 1 kg·m/s2, so to convert a force in n to mass, we divide by the acceleration due to gravity. Since 1 n = 1×10-9 N, and gravity is 9.81 m/s2, the simplified conversion is 1 n = 1×10-12 kg. For example, 1 n: 1 × 1×10-12 = 1×10-12 kg.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 n to kg:
- Start with the formula: kg = n × 1×10-12
- Plug in 5: 5 × 1×10-12
- Calculate: 5×10-12 kg
- Convert 10 n to kg:
- Formula: 10 × 1×10-12
- Result: 10×10-12 kg = 1×10-11 kg
- Convert 0.5 n to kg:
- Apply formula: 0.5 × 1×10-12
- Result: 0.5×10-12 kg = 5×10-13 kg

Conversion Definitions
n
The symbol “n” in this context represents nanonewtons, a force unit equal to 10-9 newtons. It measures tiny forces, often in scientific experiments or micro-scale applications where minute force values are needed to describe interactions.
kg
Kg stands for kilogram, a base SI unit of mass. It is used globally to quantify the amount of matter in an object, with 1 kg being equivalent to 1000 grams, and is fundamental in scientific, commercial, and everyday measurements of weight.
Conversion FAQs
What is the significance of 1 n in physical measurements?
1 nanonewton is a very small force, equivalent to 10-9 newtons, used mainly in precision measurements, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), and scientific applications where tiny force values are important.
How does gravity affect converting force in n to mass in kg?
Since force depends on mass and acceleration due to gravity, converting force in n to mass in kg involves dividing by gravity (9.81 m/s2) when considering weight. But for straightforward force-to-mass conversion, the fixed factor of 1×10-12 is used.
Is the conversion from n to kg applicable in all contexts?
No, because the force in nanonewtons represents a force, not mass directly. To find mass from force, additional context like acceleration is needed. The conversion here assumes standard gravitational acceleration and force in a static situation.
