Examples

1

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

Answer:

Given:

The force of aircraft in kilopound-force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 1

Formula:

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

Force(Poundals) = Force(Kilopound-Force) × 3.2174048556389036e+4

Substitution:

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

Force(Poundals) = 1 × 3.2174048556389036e+4

Force(Poundals) = 32174.0486

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1 kipf is equal to 32174.0486 pdl.

The force of aircraft is 32174.0486 pdl, in poundals.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The force of machine in kilopound-force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 5

Formula:

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

Force(Poundals) = Force(Kilopound-Force) × 3.2174048556389036e+4

Substitution:

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

Force(Poundals) = 5 × 3.2174048556389036e+4

Force(Poundals) = 160870.2428

Final Answer:

Therefore, 5 kipf is equal to 160870.2428 pdl.

The force of machine is 160870.2428 pdl, in poundals.

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.

Poundals

A poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, equal to about 0.138 newtons. It is used in some engineering and physics applications to measure force in non-SI units.
