What is the Formula to convert Pound-Force to Giganewtons?
The formula to convert given force from Pound-Force to Giganewtons is:
Substitute the given value of force in pound-force, i.e., Force(Pound-Force) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the force in giganewtons, i.e., Force(Giganewtons).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider a person pushing a door with a force of 50 pound-force. Convert this force from pound-force to Giganewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of door in pound-force is:
Force(Pound-Force) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert force from pound-force to giganewtons is:
Substitute given weight of spring, Force(Pound-Force) = 25 in the above formula.
Force(Giganewtons) = 25 × 4.448221615254771e-9
Force(Giganewtons) = 1.1121e-7
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 lbf is equal to 1.1121e-7 GN.
The force of spring is 1.1121e-7 GN, in giganewtons.
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.
Giganewtons
A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
