Examples

1

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

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 poundals is:

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

Substitution:

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

Force(Poundals) = 4 × 3.2174048556389036e+4

Force(Poundals) = 128696.1942

Final Answer:

Therefore, 4 kipf is equal to 128696.1942 pdl.

The force of construction beam is 128696.1942 pdl, in poundals.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The force of bridge in kip-force is:

Force(Kip-Force) = 10

Formula:

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

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

Substitution:

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

Force(Poundals) = 10 × 3.2174048556389036e+4

Force(Poundals) = 321740.4856

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 kipf is equal to 321740.4856 pdl.

The force of bridge is 321740.4856 pdl, in poundals.

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.

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.
