Examples

1

Consider an engine producing 1 kilopound-force to propel an aircraft.
Convert this force from kilopound-force to Giganewtons.

Answer:

Given:

The force of aircraft in kilopound-force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 1

Formula:

The formula to convert force from kilopound-force to giganewtons is:

Force(Giganewtons) = Force(Kilopound-Force) × 4.448221615254772e-6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of aircraft, Force(Kilopound-Force) = 1 in the above formula.

Force(Giganewtons) = 1 × 4.448221615254772e-6

Force(Giganewtons) = 0.00000444822

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1 kipf is equal to 0.00000444822 GN.

The force of aircraft is 0.00000444822 GN, in giganewtons.

2

Consider a machine applying 5 kilopound-force to move heavy equipment.
Convert this force from kilopound-force to Giganewtons.

Answer:

Given:

The force of machine in kilopound-force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 5

Formula:

The formula to convert force from kilopound-force to giganewtons is:

Force(Giganewtons) = Force(Kilopound-Force) × 4.448221615254772e-6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of machine, Force(Kilopound-Force) = 5 in the above formula.

Force(Giganewtons) = 5 × 4.448221615254772e-6

Force(Giganewtons) = 0.00002224111

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 kipf is equal to 0.00002224111 GN.

The force of machine is 0.00002224111 GN, in giganewtons.

Kilopound-Force

Kilopound-force (kipf) is another term for kip-force, which represents 1,000 pounds of force. It is a unit frequently used in structural analysis and design in engineering to simplify large force calculations.

Giganewtons

A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
