Examples
1
Consider a ball that experiences 100 poundal of force when kicked. Convert this force from poundal to Kilonewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of ball in poundals is:
Force(Poundals) = 100
Formula:
The formula to convert force from poundals to kilonewtons is:
Substitute given weight of machine, Force(Poundals) = 500 in the above formula.
Force(Kilonewtons) = 500 × 1.382549543759999e-4
Force(Kilonewtons) = 0.06912747719
Final Answer:
Therefore, 500 pdl is equal to 0.06912747719 kN.
The force of machine is 0.06912747719 kN, in kilonewtons.
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.
Kilonewtons
A kilonewton (kN) is equal to 1,000 newtons. It is often used in engineering to express larger forces, such as the load-bearing capacity of materials or the thrust produced by rockets. Kilonewtons make it easier to work with the typically larger forces involved in construction, aerospace, and structural analysis.
