Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Knowing the required newtons, finding out kg

by sanguish » Sat May 21, 2011 10:13 am

I'm totally confused.

I have a cabinet door to open. I bought a newton scale and it takes 15 newtons to open the door. Unfortunately all the items I've been looking at to do it are by weight (which I can get and understand) or by something like :3.0kg.cm(41.66oz.in).

How does :3.0kg.cm(41.66oz.in) relate to the newtons?

Thanks

Scott
