Discover the ease of converting poundal feet to kilopond meters with our precise tool. Developed by Newtum, this converter simplifies complex calculations, sparking your curiosity to explore more.
A poundal is a unit of force used within certain systems of measurement, specifically the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second per second. This means that one poundal is equivalent to approximately 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI).
Definition of KilopondA kilopond (kp) is a unit of force that is equivalent to the gravitational force exerted on a mass of one kilogram at standard gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). It is a non-SI unit that was commonly used in Europe and is sometimes referred to as a kilogram-force (kgf). One kilopond equals 9.80665 Newtons.
