Examples
1
Consider a ball that experiences 100 poundal of force when kicked. Convert this force from poundal to Pound-Force.
Answer:
Given:
The force of ball in poundals is:
Force(Poundals) = 100
Formula:
The formula to convert force from poundals to pound-force is:
Substitute given weight of machine, Force(Poundals) = 500 in the above formula.
Force(Pound-Force) = 500 × 0.031080950171607256
Force(Pound-Force) = 15.5405
Final Answer:
Therefore, 500 pdl is equal to 15.5405 lbf.
The force of machine is 15.5405 lbf, in pound-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.
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.
