A megaton (Mt) is a unit of mass typically used to measure the explosive power of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to one million tons, where a ton is a unit of weight commonly used in the United States, equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.185 kilograms. The megaton is a non-SI metric unit but is accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI).
Definition of Poundal-footThe poundal-foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of torque in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. One poundal-foot is the torque produced by a one-poundal force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point. A poundal is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.

| 0.1 Mt | 723,300,000,000 pdl·ft |
| 0.5 Mt | 3,616,500,000,000 pdl·ft |
| 1 Mt | 7,233,000,000,000 pdl·ft |
| 2 Mt | 14,466,000,000,000 pdl·ft |
| 5 Mt | 36,165,000,000,000 pdl·ft |
| 10 Mt | 72,330,000,000,000 pdl·ft |
| 20 Mt | 144,660,000,000,000 pdl·ft |
| 50 Mt | 361,650,000,000,000 pdl·ft |
| 100 Mt | 723,300,000,000,000 pdl·ft |
1 Mt = 7,233,000,000,000 pdl·ft
1 pdl·ft = 1.383 x 10^-13 Mt
Example 1:
convert 0.2 Mt to pdl·ft:
0.2 Mt = 0.2 × 7,233,000,000,000 pdl·ft = 1,446,600,000,000 pdl·ft
Example 2:
convert 1.5 Mt to pdl·ft:
1.5 Mt = 1.5 × 7,233,000,000,000 pdl·ft = 10,849,500,000,000 pdl·ft
The Megaton to Poundal Foot Converter has its roots in the need to quantify large-scale energy releases, especially in the field of nuclear energetics. This conversion helps in understanding the amount of torque or rotational force generated by the equivalent explosive power of megatons in a mechanical context.
Real-life applications of the Megaton to Poundal Foot Converter are crucial for professionals in various fields to understand the vast energy conversions and their mechanical implications.
Example 1:
Convert 2 Mt to pdl·ft:
2 Mt = 2 × 7,233,000,000,000 pdl·ft = 14,466,000,000,000 pdl·ft
Example 2:
Convert 0.3 Mt to pdl·ft:
0.3 Mt = 0.3 × 7,233,000,000,000 pdl·ft = 2,169,900,000,000 pdl·ft
The converter measures the torque equivalent of a megaton's explosive force in poundal feet (pdl·ft).
Yes, the converter can also reverse the process to convert pdl·ft back to Mt.
The converter is designed for high accuracy, ensuring precise conversions for your needs.
