What is the Formula to convert Pound-Force to Kilogram-Force?
The formula to convert given force from Pound-Force to Kilogram-Force 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 kilogram-force, i.e., Force(Kilogram-Force).
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 Kilogram-Force.
Answer:
Given:
The force of door in pound-force is:
Force(Pound-Force) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert force from pound-force to kilogram-force is:
Substitute given weight of spring, Force(Pound-Force) = 25 in the above formula.
Force(Kilogram-Force) = 25 × 0.4535923699994033
Force(Kilogram-Force) = 11.3398
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 lbf is equal to 11.3398 kgf.
The force of spring is 11.3398 kgf, in kilogram-force.
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.
Kilogram-Force
Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.
