Convert grams force to pound force, abbreviated as gf to lbf. This is based formula: 1 grams force = 0.0022046 pound force, under this rule, grams forces can be easily converted into pound forces. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
The force which is applied on the one gram mass of object at the earth to bring change in motion is called gram force.
It is an abbreviation of gf and also known as gram weight or pond. In other words, the forced which is necessary to apply an object of one gram to bring change in acceleration of 980.665 cm/sec
Gravitational force is measure of force per unit mass so in SI units it is equal to 0.00980665 meter per square second.
As far as its history is concerned, gram force concept has been used since long time back as it is earlier believed that the force on the an particular mass of object and later experiments have proved it right. However its use started in 1901 for smaller measurements.
Pound of force is used in the system of measurement including English Engineering unit and foot-pound-system. Foot-pound and pound force are two separate units, avoid mixing these two.
The force which is applied on an object of mass of one pound at the rate of 32.174 ft/s is called one pound force. It is equal to the gravitational force that is applied on the one pound mass of object on this earth planet. This is very helpful because experiments have shown that gravitational force on one pound mass of object is equal to the one pound force.
The value of gravitational force is taken as 9.87 meter per square second.
Pound force is often represented with lb whereas force that is applied on one pound gram of object is represented with lbf.
If you want to know how to convert grams force to pound force, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
The Grams Force to Pound Force formula is:
1 Grams Force = 0.0022046 pound force
Or convert the formula:
1 pound force = 453.5924079 grams force
Through the formula, two answers can be easily obtained:
In other words, 1 grams force equal to 0.0022046 pound force. To convert grams forces to pound forces, just multiply grams force by 0.0022046 or divide by 453.5924079.
For example, convert 1000 gf to lbf
1000 gf = 1000 × 0.0022046 lbf = 2.2046 lbf
or
1000 ÷ 453.5924079 = 2.2046 lbf
Through the above content, now you know how to convert grams force to pound force.
