How to Convert Exagram to Kilogram-force second²/meter
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
For example, 1 Exagram (Eg) = 1.019716e+14 Kilogram-force second²/meter (kgf·s²/m).

About Exagram (Eg)
Definition
The exagram equals 10¹⁸ grams or 10¹⁵ kilograms — one trillion tonnes.
Mathematical Relationship
1 Eg = 10¹⁸ g = 10¹⁵ kg = 10⁹ tonnes.
Conversion Formula
To convert Eg to kg: multiply by 10¹⁵. To convert Eg to Pg: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
No everyday applications. Describes masses of small moons or large asteroids.
Interesting Facts
Earth's total mass is about 5.97 × 10⁶ Eg. The entire atmosphere weighs 'only' about 5 Eg.
Common Mistakes
Hardly ever encountered — most contexts use 'times 10^x kg' notation instead of exagrams.
Educational Tips
If you need to express masses between Pg and Earth-masses, the exagram fills that gap: 1 Eg = 10¹⁵ kg.
About Kilogram-force second²/meter (kgf·s²/m)
Definition
The kilogram-force second squared per meter is an engineering unit of mass in the gravitational metric system, equal to about 9.807 kg.
Mathematical Relationship
1 kgf·s²/m = 9.80665 kg (exactly), based on standard gravity g₀ = 9.80665 m/s².
Conversion Formula
To convert to kilograms: multiply by 9.80665.
Practical Applications
Historical engineering calculations where force was in kgf and F=ma needed consistent units.
Interesting Facts
This unit is the metric equivalent of the slug (imperial system). Just as 1 lb-force accelerates 1 slug at 1 ft/s², 1 kgf accelerates this unit at 1 m/s².
Common Mistakes
Mixing up mass (kg) and weight (kgf) in the gravitational system. SI removed this confusion by using newtons for force.
Educational Tips
This unit exists because the gravitational system used kgf (force) as base, so a derived mass unit was needed for F=ma to work.
