Force and Load Measurements

Force conversion is crucial in engineering, physics, and mechanical applications. Our converter handles gravitational, applied, and reaction forces accurately.

Force Units

Newton (N) is the SI unit for force. Pounds-force (lbf) in imperial system, kilogram-force (kgf) in some applications, dynes in CGS system.

Weight vs. Force

Weight is gravitational force on mass. 1 kg of mass weighs ~9.8 N on Earth. Pound-force (lbf) differs from pound-mass (lbm).

Engineering Applications

Structural loads, hydraulic forces, mechanical advantage calculations, and material stress analysis all require accurate force conversions.

Common Applications

Structural engineering, mechanical design, automotive industry, aerospace, material testing, and construction.

Conversion Tips

1 lbf ≈ 4.45 N. Weight of 1 kg ≈ 9.8 N ≈ 2.2 lbf. For approximations: 1 kgf ≈ 10 N ≈ 2.2 lbf.
