What is the Formula to convert Kip-Force to Short Ton-Force?

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

Force(Short Ton-Force) = Force(Kip-Force) × 0.4999999999993773

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 short ton-force, i.e., Force(Short Ton-Force).

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 Short Ton-Force.

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 short ton-force is:

Force(Short Ton-Force) = Force(Kip-Force) × 0.4999999999993773

Substitution:

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

Force(Short Ton-Force) = 4 × 0.4999999999993773

Force(Short Ton-Force) = 2

Final Answer:

Therefore, 4 kipf is equal to 2 short tonf.

The force of construction beam is 2 short tonf, in short ton-force.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The force of bridge in kip-force is:

Force(Kip-Force) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert force from kip-force to short ton-force is:

Force(Short Ton-Force) = Force(Kip-Force) × 0.4999999999993773

Substitution:

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

Force(Short Ton-Force) = 10 × 0.4999999999993773

Force(Short Ton-Force) = 5

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 kipf is equal to 5 short tonf.

The force of bridge is 5 short tonf, in short ton-force.

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.

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.
