Convert pound force to newtons
Pound-force
The pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force in the imperial and US customary measurement systems. It is defined as the force exerted on a mass of one avoirdupois pound by the standard acceleration due to gravity, 9.80665 m/s², giving it a value of approximately 4.44822 newtons. The pound-force is widely used in the United States in engineering, aviation, and everyday contexts to express forces and weights. It should be distinguished from the pound-mass (lbm), which measures mass rather than force.
