Examples

1

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

Answer:

Given:

The force of aircraft in kilopound-force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 1

Formula:

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

Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Kilopound-Force) × 4.448221615254771e-12

Substitution:

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

Force(Petanewtons) = 1 × 4.448221615254771e-12

Force(Petanewtons) = 0

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1 kipf is equal to 0 PT.

The force of aircraft is 0 PT, in petanewtons.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The force of machine in kilopound-force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 5

Formula:

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

Force(Petanewtons) = Force(Kilopound-Force) × 4.448221615254771e-12

Substitution:

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

Force(Petanewtons) = 5 × 4.448221615254771e-12

Force(Petanewtons) = 2e-11

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 kipf is equal to 2e-11 PT.

The force of machine is 2e-11 PT, in petanewtons.

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.

Petanewtons

A petanewton (PT) is equal to 1015 newtons. It’s an extremely large unit of force, mostly theoretical, used in astrophysics or high-energy physics to describe forces acting at a massive scale, such as between planets or in star formation.
