Convert poundal to kip-force

Learn how to convert 1 poundal to kip-force step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o u n d a l) = x (k i p - f o r c e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(n e w t o n)

Left side: 1.0 (p o u n d a l) = 0.138254954376 (n e w t o n) = 0.138254954376 (N)

Right side: 1.0 (k i p - f o r c e) = 4448.2216152605 (n e w t o n) = 4448.2216152605 (N)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o u n d a l) = x (k i p - f o r c e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.138254954376 \times (n e w t o n) = x \times 4448.2216152605 \times (n e w t o n)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.138254954376 \cdot (N) = x \cdot 4448.2216152605 \cdot (N)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.138254954376 \cdot (N) = x \times 4448.2216152605 \times (N)

Conversion Equation

0.138254954376 = x \times 4448.2216152605

Switch sides

x \times 4448.2216152605 = 0.138254954376

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4448.2216152605})

x \times 4448.2216152605 \times \frac{1.0}{4448.2216152605} = 0.138254954376 \times \frac{1.0}{4448.2216152605}

Cancel

x \times 4448.2216152605 \times \frac{1.0}{4448.2216152605} = 0.138254954376 \times \frac{1.0}{4448.2216152605}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.138254954376}{4448.2216152605}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.000031081 \approx 3.1081 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o u n d a l) \approx 3.1081 \times 10^{- 5} (k i p - f o r c e)
