We can convert a mass expressed in kilograms to the equivalent mass expressed in metres by multiplying by the conversion factor G/c 2. For example, the Sun's mass of 2.0 × 10 30 kg in SI units is equivalent to 1.5 km. This is half the Schwarzschild radius of a one solar mass black hole. All other conversion factors can be worked out by ...

The constants that Stoney used to define his set of units is the following: [1] [2] c, the speed of light in vacuum, G, the gravitational constant, k e, the Coulomb constant, e, the charge on the electron. Later authors typically replace the Coulomb constant with 1 / 4πε 0 . [3] [4]
In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.
In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

Engineers in disciplines involving weight loading (force on a structure due to gravity), such as structural engineering, convert the mass of objects like concrete and automobiles (expressed in kilograms) to a force in newtons (by multiplying by some factor around 9.8; 2 significant figures is usually sufficient for such calculations) to derive ...
