Understanding Pound-force to Newton Conversion

A pound-force (lbf) is the force of gravity on a mass of one pound under standard conditions. One pound-force equals approximately 4.448222 newtons (N). The newton is the SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.

Conversion Formula

To convert from pound-force (lbf) to newtons (N), multiply the pound-force value by 4.448222:

Newtons = Pound-force × 4.448222
