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

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

Force(Pound-Force) = Force(Petanewtons) × 2.248089431e+14

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

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider a planet exerting a force of 10 petanewtons on its moon.
Convert this force from petanewtons to Pound-Force.

Answer:

Given:

The force of planet in petanewtons is:

Force(Petanewtons) = 10

Formula:

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

Force(Pound-Force) = Force(Petanewtons) × 2.248089431e+14

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of planet, Force(Petanewtons) = 10 in the above formula.

Force(Pound-Force) = 10 × 2.248089431e+14

Force(Pound-Force) = 2248089431000000

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 PT is equal to 2248089431000000 lbf.

The force of planet is 2248089431000000 lbf, in pound-force.

2

Consider the energy needed for interstellar travel requiring a force of 0.8 petanewtons.
Convert this force from petanewtons to Pound-Force.

Answer:

Given:

The force of interstellar vehicle required in petanewtons is:

Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8

Formula:

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

Force(Pound-Force) = Force(Petanewtons) × 2.248089431e+14

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of interstellar vehicle required, Force(Petanewtons) = 0.8 in the above formula.

Force(Pound-Force) = 0.8 × 2.248089431e+14

Force(Pound-Force) = 179847154480000

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.8 PT is equal to 179847154480000 lbf.

The force of interstellar vehicle required is 179847154480000 lbf, in pound-force.

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.

Pound-Force

Pound-force (lbf) is the force exerted by gravity on a one-pound mass. It is a commonly used unit in the United States to describe everyday forces, such as the force exerted by objects or people.
