Examples
1
Consider a person pushing a door with a force of 50 pound-force. Convert this force from pound-force to Centinewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of door in pound-force is:
Force(Pound-Force) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert force from pound-force to centinewtons is:
Substitute given weight of spring, Force(Pound-Force) = 25 in the above formula.
Force(Centinewtons) = 25 × 444.82216152547716
Force(Centinewtons) = 11120.554
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 lbf is equal to 11120.554 cN.
The force of spring is 11120.554 cN, in centinewtons.
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.
Centinewtons
A centinewton (cN) is 0.01 newtons, making it useful for expressing very small forces. It might be used in situations involving micro-robotics or precision instruments where delicate forces are applied.
