Discover the ease of converting lbf-ft to pdl-ft with our Pound-force Foot to Poundal Foot Converter. Engineered by Newtum, this tool ensures accurate conversions, sparking your curiosity to explore more.
The pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, equivalent to the force exerted by gravity on a one-pound mass. It represents the gravitational force acting on a pound of mass, making it a convenient unit for practical measurements in engineering and physics.
Definition of PoundalA poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. The poundal is derived from the basic FPS units and is not as commonly used as the pound-force.
| Pound-Force Foot (lbf-ft) | Poundal Foot (pdl-ft) |
|---|---|
| 1 lbf-ft | 32.174 pdl-ft |
| 2 lbf-ft | 64.348 pdl-ft |
| 3 lbf-ft | 96.522 pdl-ft |

| 10 lbf-ft | 321.74 pdl-ft |
1 lbf-ft = 32.174 pdl-ft
1 pdl-ft = 0.031081 lbf-ft
Example 1:
Convert 5 lbf-ft to pdl-ft:
5 lbf-ft = 5 × 32.174 pdl-ft = 160.87 pdl-ft
Example 2:
Convert 10 lbf-ft to pdl-ft:
10 lbf-ft = 10 × 32.174 pdl-ft = 321.74 pdl-ft
The Pound-force Foot to Poundal Foot Converter traces its origins to the use of the FPS (foot-pound-second) system, where the pound-force and poundal were used to measure force. Over time, this tool has become essential for engineers and scientists converting between these two units of torque or moment of force.
Explore practical applications of the lbf-ft to pdl-ft converter and grasp its importance in real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
To convert 15 lbf-ft to pdl-ft:
15 lbf-ft = 15 × 32.174 pdl-ft = 482.61 pdl-ft
Example 2:
To convert 25 lbf-ft to pdl-ft:
25 lbf-ft = 25 × 32.174 pdl-ft = 804.35 pdl-ft
What is a Pound-force Foot?
