Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider a bridge designed to withstand a force of 20 meganewtons.
Convert this force from meganewtons to Poundals.

Answer:

Given:

The force in meganewtons is:

Force(Meganewtons) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert force from meganewtons to poundals is:

Force(Poundals) = Force(Meganewtons) × 7.2330138512099e+6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Force(Meganewtons) = 20 in the above formula.

Force(Poundals) = 20 × 7.2330138512099e+6

Force(Poundals) = 144660277.0242

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 MN is equal to 144660277.0242 pdl.

The force is 144660277.0242 pdl, in poundals.

2

Consider a strong earthquake generating a force of 15 meganewtons on buildings.
Convert this force from meganewtons to Poundals.

Answer:

Given:

The force of earthquake generating on buildings in meganewtons is:

Force(Meganewtons) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert force from meganewtons to poundals is:

Force(Poundals) = Force(Meganewtons) × 7.2330138512099e+6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of earthquake generating on buildings, Force(Meganewtons) = 15 in the above formula.

Force(Poundals) = 15 × 7.2330138512099e+6

Force(Poundals) = 108495207.7681

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 MN is equal to 108495207.7681 pdl.

The force of earthquake generating on buildings is 108495207.7681 pdl, in poundals.

Meganewtons

A meganewton (MN) is 106 newtons. It’s commonly used in fields like aerospace engineering to describe the force exerted by rockets or the loads in large structures. Meganeutons are an appropriate unit for expressing massive forces that exceed the capacity of kilonewtons.

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.
