Convert newton to kip force
Newton
The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton. One newton is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²). Roughly the weight of a small (100 g) apple under standard gravity, it is the base unit used throughout physics and engineering to express force, weight and thrust.
Kip-force
The kip-force (kipf) is a unit of force used primarily in the United States in structural and civil engineering. One kip-force is equal to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf), or approximately 4448.222 newtons. The name "kip" is a portmanteau of "kilo" and "pound." It provides a convenient scale for expressing large structural loads, such as those in bridge and building design.
