What is the Formula to convert Poundals to Kilopound-Force?

The formula to convert given force from Poundals to Kilopound-Force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = Force(Poundals) × 3.1080950171607255e-5

Substitute the given value of force in poundals, i.e., Force(Poundals) 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 ball that experiences 100 poundal of force when kicked.
Convert this force from poundal to Kilopound-Force.

Answer:

Given:

The force of ball in poundals is:

Force(Poundals) = 100

Formula:

The formula to convert force from poundals to kilopound-force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = Force(Poundals) × 3.1080950171607255e-5

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of ball, Force(Poundals) = 100 in the above formula.

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 100 × 3.1080950171607255e-5

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 0.00310809502

Final Answer:

Therefore, 100 pdl is equal to 0.00310809502 kipf.

The force of ball is 0.00310809502 kipf, in kilopound-force.

2

Consider a machine applying 500 poundal to move an object across a surface.
Convert this force from poundal to Kilopound-Force.

Answer:

Given:

The force of machine in poundals is:

Force(Poundals) = 500

Formula:

The formula to convert force from poundals to kilopound-force is:

Force(Kilopound-Force) = Force(Poundals) × 3.1080950171607255e-5

Substitution:

Substitute given weight of machine, Force(Poundals) = 500 in the above formula.

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 500 × 3.1080950171607255e-5

Force(Kilopound-Force) = 0.01554047509

Final Answer:

Therefore, 500 pdl is equal to 0.01554047509 kipf.

The force of machine is 0.01554047509 kipf, in kilopound-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.

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.
