What is the Formula to convert Pound-Force to Kilopound-Force?
The formula to convert given force from Pound-Force to Kilopound-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 kilopound-force, i.e., Force(Kilopound-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 Kilopound-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 kilopound-force is:
Substitute given weight of spring, Force(Pound-Force) = 25 in the above formula.
Force(Kilopound-Force) = 25 × 0.001
Force(Kilopound-Force) = 0.025
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 lbf is equal to 0.025 kipf.
The force of spring is 0.025 kipf, in kilopound-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.
Kilopound-Force
Kilopound-force (kipf) is another term for kip-force, which represents 1,000 pounds of force. It is a unit frequently used in structural analysis and design in engineering to simplify large force calculations.
