Conversion Definitions
Pounds is a unit of force in the imperial system, often used to measure weight or mass, where 1 pound-force equals the force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 pound at Earth’s gravity. Newtons are SI units of force, measuring how much an object is pushed or pulled, equal to 1 kg·m/s².
Conversion FAQs
Why is there a constant 4.44822 used in this conversion?
This constant derives from the definition that 1 pound-force equals approximately 4.44822 newtons. It converts the imperial measurement to the SI system, standardizing force measurements across different units and systems.
Can I use this conversion for mass instead of force?
No, this conversion is for force, not mass. Pounds as a mass unit need to be converted to weight using Earth’s gravity before converting to newtons because mass and force are different quantities. For mass, pounds are just a measure of quantity, not weight.
What if I want to convert kilograms to newtons?
To convert kilograms to newtons, multiply the mass in kg by 9.80665, the acceleration due to gravity in m/s². This gives the force in newtons exerted by the mass under Earth’s gravity, different from pound-force conversions.
Is this conversion accurate for all types of pounds?
Yes, this uses the standard definition of pound-force, so it applies to pounds used as a force measurement in weights. If pounds are used as a mass unit, additional steps are needed to find force in newtons.
How do I convert pounds to newtons in a calculator?
Simply multiply the number of pounds by 4.44822. For example, for 150 pounds, 150 x 4.44822 = 667.233 newtons. This method works for any value of pounds you want to convert.
