Final answer:
The accurate gravitational acceleration value of 9.8 m/s², giving 98 N.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert 10 kilograms to kilogram-force (KGF) and newtons (N), we need to use the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s². The relationship between mass, gravitational acceleration, and force is expressed as force = mass × gravitational acceleration. Therefore, since kilogram-force is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one kilogram under standard Earth gravity, 10 kilograms is directly equal to 10 KGF, assuming standard Earth gravity is approximately 10 m/s² for simplicity in conversion.
For conversion to newtons, we use the accurate value of g as 9.8 m/s². The calculation would be w = m × g, which for a 10 kg object is (10 kg) × (9.8 m/s²) = 98 N. Hence, 10 kilograms can also be converted to 98 newtons.
