Examples
1
Consider a person pushing a door with a force of 50 pound-force. Convert this force from pound-force to Poundals.
Answer:
Given:
The force of door in pound-force is:
Force(Pound-Force) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert force from pound-force to poundals is:
Substitute given weight of spring, Force(Pound-Force) = 25 in the above formula.
Force(Poundals) = 25 × 32.17404855638904
Force(Poundals) = 804.3512
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 lbf is equal to 804.3512 pdl.
The force of spring is 804.3512 pdl, in poundals.
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.
Poundals
A poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, equal to about 0.138 newtons. It is used in some engineering and physics applications to measure force in non-SI units.
