  2. Pound (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(force)

    The pound-force is the product of one avoirdupois pound (exactly 0.45359237 kg) and the standard acceleration due to gravity, approximately 32.174049 ft/s 2 (9.80665 m/s 2). [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The standard values of acceleration of the standard gravitational field ( g n ) and the international avoirdupois pound (lb) result in a pound-force equal ...

    70.93164 pdl. The kilogram-force (kgf or kgF), or kilopond (kp, from Latin: pondus, lit. 'weight'), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is not accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) [1] and is deprecated for most uses. [citation needed] The kilogram-force is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted ...

  4. Kip (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip_(unit)

    1000 lbf. A kip is a US customary unit of force. It equals 1000 pounds-force, and is used primarily by structural engineers to indicate forces where the value represented in pound-force is inefficient. Although uncommon, it is occasionally also considered a unit of mass, equal to 1000 pounds (i.e. one half of a short ton).

  5. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    0.224809 lbf. The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). In SI base units, it is defined as , the force which gives a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second squared. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically his second law of motion.

  6. Pound (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(mass)

    The pound or pound-mass is a unit of mass used in both the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement.Various definitions have been used; the most common today is the international avoirdupois pound, which is legally defined as exactly 0.453 592 37 kilograms, and which is divided into 16 avoirdupois ounces.

  7. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property ...
