What is the Formula to convert Kilopound-Force to Short Ton-Force?
The formula to convert given force from Kilopound-Force to Short Ton-Force is:
Substitute the given value of force in kilopound-force, i.e., Force(Kilopound-Force) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the force in short ton-force, i.e., Force(Short Ton-Force).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider an engine producing 1 kilopound-force to propel an aircraft. Convert this force from kilopound-force to Short Ton-Force.
Answer:
Given:
The force of aircraft in kilopound-force is:
Force(Kilopound-Force) = 1
Formula:
The formula to convert force from kilopound-force to short ton-force is:
Substitute given weight of machine, Force(Kilopound-Force) = 5 in the above formula.
Force(Short Ton-Force) = 5 × 0.4999999999993773
Force(Short Ton-Force) = 2.5
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 kipf is equal to 2.5 short tonf.
The force of machine is 2.5 short tonf, in short ton-force.
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.
Short Ton-Force
Short ton-force represents the force exerted by the weight of a short ton (2,000 pounds) under standard gravity. It is used primarily in the United States to describe large forces in engineering, construction, and mechanics.
