What is the Formula to convert Pound-Force to Kiloponds?
The formula to convert given force from Pound-Force to Kiloponds 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 kiloponds, i.e., Force(Kiloponds).
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 Kiloponds.
Answer:
Given:
The force of door in pound-force is:
Force(Pound-Force) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert force from pound-force to kiloponds is:
Substitute given weight of spring, Force(Pound-Force) = 25 in the above formula.
Force(Kiloponds) = 25 × 0.4535923699994033
Force(Kiloponds) = 11.3398
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 lbf is equal to 11.3398 kp.
The force of spring is 11.3398 kp, in kiloponds.
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.
Kiloponds
A kilopond (kp) is equivalent to kilogram-force. It was previously used to measure forces exerted by larger masses, but it has been replaced by more standardized units like the newton.
