Convert newton to pound force, abbreviated as N to lbf. This is based formula: 1 newton = 0.2248089 pound force, under this rule, newtons can be easily converted into pound forces. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
It is the most widely used unit for representing force.
The force applied on a body of 1kg to bring an acceleration of meter per square second.
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.
This concept was described by newton in 2nd law of motion where an expression given below explains the relation between force on mass to accelerate it. The force applied on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the object to cause acceleration in it.
F=ma (newton second law of motion)
It is represented with N.
1N = 1 kg·m/s2
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 newton to pound force, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
The Newton to Pound Force formula is:
1 Newton = 0.2248089 pound force
Or convert the formula:
1 pound force = 4.448222 newton
Through the formula, two answers can be easily obtained:
In other words, 1 newton equal to 0.2248089 pound force. To convert newtons to pound forces, just multiply newton by 0.2248089 or divide by 4.448222.
For example, convert 100 N to lbf
100 N = 100 × 0.2248089 lbf = 22.48089 lbf
or
100 ÷ 4.448222 = 22.48089 lbf
Through the above content, now you know how to convert newton to pound force.
