Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider a ball that experiences 100 poundal of force when kicked. Convert this force from poundal to Kilogram-Force.
Answer:
Given:
The force of ball in poundals is:
Force(Poundals) = 100
Formula:
The formula to convert force from poundals to kilogram-force is:
The force of machine is 7.049 kgf, in kilogram-force.
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.
Kilogram-Force
Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.
