What is the Formula to convert Pound-Force to Kilonewtons?
The formula to convert given force from Pound-Force to Kilonewtons 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 kilonewtons, i.e., Force(Kilonewtons).
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 Kilonewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of door in pound-force is:
Force(Pound-Force) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert force from pound-force to kilonewtons is:
Substitute given weight of spring, Force(Pound-Force) = 25 in the above formula.
Force(Kilonewtons) = 25 × 0.004448221615254771
Force(Kilonewtons) = 0.1112
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 lbf is equal to 0.1112 kN.
The force of spring is 0.1112 kN, in kilonewtons.
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.
Kilonewtons
A kilonewton (kN) is equal to 1,000 newtons. It is often used in engineering to express larger forces, such as the load-bearing capacity of materials or the thrust produced by rockets. Kilonewtons make it easier to work with the typically larger forces involved in construction, aerospace, and structural analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
