Load cell (how to convert V to N)

Click For Summary
To convert voltage values from the Omega load cell to force in Newtons, first determine the sensitivity of the load cell, which is 2 mV/V at a 10V excitation, resulting in a full-scale output of 20 mV. The output voltage needs to be calibrated against known weights to establish a relationship between voltage and force. The voltage reading of 0.06V when no force is applied indicates a zero offset, which should be subtracted from subsequent readings. The maximum reading of 0.7V corresponds to a force that can be calculated using the established relationship. Proper calibration and documentation are essential for accurate conversion from volts to Newtons.

Hello,
I have Omega made load cell with 150g capacity,Rated output 2mV/V, Excitation 10V.How I can convert voltage values to the force (Newtons)?When no force applied meter shows 0,06V and then i pressing with finger the max value I get is 0.7V.So how I can converts those volts to Newtons now?

Did your load cell come with any instructions or documentation?
 
I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
