Technically, the kg is a unit of mass, but it can be interpreted as force, so 1 kgf. It means 1 kg force. ... So the force needed is the mass times acceleration of gravity. This is 9.8 m/s/s, so force is 9.8 newtons as a newton is defined to be a kg m/s/s. You can convert it to pounds: it's 2.205 pounds.
