What is the Formula to convert Pound-Force to Petanewtons?
The formula to convert given force from Pound-Force to Petanewtons 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 petanewtons, i.e., Force(Petanewtons).
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 Petanewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of door in pound-force is:
Force(Pound-Force) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert force from pound-force to petanewtons is:
Substitute given weight of spring, Force(Pound-Force) = 25 in the above formula.
Force(Petanewtons) = 25 × 4.448221615254771e-15
Force(Petanewtons) = 0
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 lbf is equal to 0 PT.
The force of spring is 0 PT, in petanewtons.
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.
Petanewtons
A petanewton (PT) is equal to 1015 newtons. It’s an extremely large unit of force, mostly theoretical, used in astrophysics or high-energy physics to describe forces acting at a massive scale, such as between planets or in star formation.
