Kilocalorie To Kilogram-force Converter

Effortlessly Convert kcal to kgf·cm with Precision

Discover the ease of converting Kilocalories IT to Kilogram-force Centimeters. This intuitive tool by Newtum sparks your curiosity, simplifying complex conversions.

What are Kilocalorie and Kilogram-force

A Kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. It is commonly used in the field of nutrition to represent the energy content of food.

Kilogram-force (kgf or kgF) is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. One kgf is equivalent to 9.80665 newtons, the standard acceleration due to gravity.
