What is the Formula to convert Kip-Force to Petanewtons?

The formula to convert given force from Kip-Force to Petanewtons is:

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

Substitute the given value of force in kip-force, i.e., Force(Kip-Force) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the force in petanewtons, i.e., Force(Petanewtons).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider a construction beam withstanding a force of 4 kip-force.
Convert this force from kip-force to Petanewtons.

Answer:

Given:

The force of construction beam in kip-force is:

Force(Kip-Force) = 4

Formula:

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

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

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of construction beam, Force(Kip-Force) = 4 in the above formula.

Force(Petanewtons) = 4 × 4.448221615254771e-12

Force(Petanewtons) = 2e-11

Final Answer:

Therefore, 4 kipf is equal to 2e-11 PT.

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

2

Consider a bridge that can bear 10 kip-force at its central span.
Convert this force from kip-force to Petanewtons.

Answer:

Given:

The force of bridge in kip-force is:

Force(Kip-Force) = 10

Formula:

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

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

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of bridge, Force(Kip-Force) = 10 in the above formula.

Force(Petanewtons) = 10 × 4.448221615254771e-12

Force(Petanewtons) = 4e-11

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 kipf is equal to 4e-11 PT.

The force of bridge is 4e-11 PT, in petanewtons.

Kip-Force

A kip-force (kipf) is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. It is commonly used in structural engineering in the United States to describe the load-carrying capacity of structures and components.

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.
