Follow these steps to convert given force from the units of Poundals to the units of Newtons.
Enter the input Poundals value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Poundals into Newtons in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Newtons label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Newtons value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Newtons value using the Copy button.
To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
What is the Formula to convert Poundals to Newtons?
The formula to convert given force from Poundals to Newtons is:
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 newtons, i.e., Force(Newtons).
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 Newtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of ball in poundals is:
Force(Poundals) = 100
Formula:
The formula to convert force from poundals to newtons is:
Substitute given weight of machine, Force(Poundals) = 500 in the above formula.
Force(Newtons) = 500 × 0.13825495437599988
Force(Newtons) = 69.1275
Final Answer:
Therefore, 500 pdl is equal to 69.1275 N.
The force of machine is 69.1275 N, in newtons.
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.
Newtons
A newton is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in honor of his work in physics, particularly his second law of motion. One newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Newtons are widely used to measure forces in engineering, mechanics, and daily life, such as the force you exert when pushing a door.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the formula for converting Poundals to Newtons in Force?
The formula to convert Poundals to Newtons in Force is:
Poundals * 0.13825495437599988
2. Is this tool free or paid?
This Force conversion tool, which converts Poundals to Newtons, is completely free to use.
3. How do I convert Force from Poundals to Newtons?
To convert Force from Poundals to Newtons, you can use the following formula:
Poundals * 0.13825495437599988
For example, if you have a value in Poundals, you substitute that value in place of Poundals in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Newtons.
