Newtons to Pound-Force Converter
Definition
A newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a 1-kilogram mass by 1 meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²). pound-force (lbf) is a unit in the US customary system, equal to the force exerted by gravity on a pound-mass at standard acceleration (approximately 4.4482216153 N).
History
The newton was named after Sir isaac newton in 1948, honoring his laws of motion, and adopted as the SI unit with the metric system’s global standardization. pound-force emerged from English units in the 18th century, tied to the pound-mass and gravitational constant, formalized in the US in the 19th century for engineering.
