Convert kilonewton to pound force, abbreviated as kN to lbf. This is based formula: 1 kilonewton = 224.808943 pound force, under this rule, kilonewtons can be easily converted into pound forces. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
It is equal to one thousand newton. In other words, the force applied on One kilogram of body to accelerate it is called one kilo newton force.
One Kilo newton is equal to 10197 kgf
It is represented by the kN.
Its named after the scientist sit Isaac newton for honoring his services in classical mechanics. This name is given in 1948 by the CGPM resolution.
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 kilonewton to pound force, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
The Kilonewton to Pound Force formula is:
1 Kilonewton = 224.808943 pound force
Or convert the formula:
1 pound force = 0.0044482 kilonewton
Through the formula, two answers can be easily obtained:
In other words, 1 kilonewton equal to 224.808943 pound force. To convert kilonewtons to pound forces, just multiply kilonewton by 224.808943 or divide by 0.0044482.
For example, convert 10 kN to lbf
10 kN = 10 × 224.808943 lbf = 2248.08943 lbf
or
10 ÷ 0.0044482 = 2248.08943 lbf
Through the above content, now you know how to convert kilonewton to pound force.
