Convert pound force to kilograms force, abbreviated as lbf to kgf. This is based formula: 1 pound force = 0.4535924 kilograms force, under this rule, pound forces can be easily converted into kilograms forces. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
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.
The force which applied on the one kilogram of mass of object to change the acceleration is called kilogram force.
For example the force applied on 1kg of football to change its motion will be one kilogram force.
As discussed above, it has close relation with gram force with a difference in mass for both of units.
It is represented with kgf.
In SI one kgf = 9.80665 m/s2
If you want to know how to convert pound force to kilograms force, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
The Pound Force to Kilograms Force formula is:
1 Pound Force = 0.4535924 kilograms force
Or convert the formula:
1 kilograms force = 2.2046226 pound force
Through the formula, two answers can be easily obtained:
In other words, 1 pound force equal to 0.4535924 kilograms force. To convert pound forces to kilograms forces, just multiply pound force by 0.4535924 or divide by 2.2046226.
For example, convert 10 lbf to kgf
10 lbf = 10 × 0.4535924 kgf = 4.535924 kgf
or
10 ÷ 2.2046226 = 4.535924 kgf
Through the above content, now you know how to convert pound force to kilograms force.
