Kilogram Converter/Calculator
Examples of Values to Enter:
100 micrograms
200 milligrams
10 centigrams
500 grams
25 pounds (or 25lb)
3 slugs
This kilogram calculator/converter converts the unit of weight entered in such as milligrams, grams, pounds, etc. into their equivalent kilograms value.
To use this calculator, a user enters the numerical value and the unit of the weight s/he wants to convert to kilograms. This can be in micrograms, milligrams, centigrams, grams, pounds, or slugs. The user then presses the 'Calculate' button, and the resultant value in unit kilograms is automatically computed and displayed.
Kilograms is a very important unit of measurement, because it is the SI unit of mass. Therefore, it is the most commonly used measurement of mass. It is used in practically
every equation that has to do with mass, such as weight (W= mg), momentum (p=mv), centripetal force (F=mv2/r), and many, many other formulas. Being that kilogram is used in so many
equations as the SI unit of mass, it is necessary to convert from other units to kilograms to calculate the equation. Since electronics encompasses so many different weight-bearing devices
such as electronic scales, accelerometers, etc, working with kilograms is essential for making calculations.
