I was just thinking what is cN, first thing that came to mind is cubic newtons it wouldn't be homogenus then

1 Newton = 1kg, so 1cN would be 0.1kg?

i'm measuring the tensions of yarns in a weaving machine for a calibration. we have got these new tension metre's that read in cN where as our old ones were in kg. therefore i need to convert to kg.

9.81n is the ammount of force gravity exerts on a 1kg mass on the earths surface.

1 newton is the equivalent of 1kg acting at the force of gravity ie. 9.81m/s^2 at the Earth's surface
Get away from centiNewtons; its just not used. Scientifically you could use millinewtons of kilonewtons but centinewtons doesn't really have a place.
1 Newton = 0.102 kg force
or in other words
1 kilogram Force = 9.80665Newtons
therefore 0.01Newtons [equivalent to your centiNewton] would be the equivalent of 0.001019716 kilogram force [at acceleration of gravity]

all i can tell you is the tension instrument says cN on the guage. why the fuck some turd has changed these i dont know. the old ones that read in kg were fine.

yes, newtons is a weight or force, KG is a mass
Not sure why tension would be measured in KG's though

I'm guessing it was actually kg force

yeah it must be kilograms force. think i've sorted it now. thanks for the help.
