Discover the ease of converting energy units with our Poundal Foot to Watt-second Converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool simplifies the conversion process, sparking your curiosity to explore more.
A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, commonly used in the United States. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. It is a part of the English Engineering Units and is equivalent to 0.1382550 newtons in the International System of Units (SI).
Definition of Watt-secondA watt-second (W*s) is a derived unit of energy equivalent to one joule in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the amount of energy expended when a one-watt power is applied for one second. This unit is particularly used in electrical applications to quantify small amounts of energy that occur within short time frames.
| Poundal Foot (pdl*ft) | Watt-second (W*s) |
|---|---|
| 1 pdl*ft | 0.04214 W*s |
| 5 pdl*ft | 0.2107 W*s |
| 10 pdl*ft | 0.4214 W*s |
| 15 pdl*ft | 0.6321 W*s |
| 20 pdl*ft | 0.8428 W*s |
| 25 pdl*ft | 1.0535 W*s |
| 30 pdl*ft | 1.2642 W*s |
| 35 pdl*ft | 1.4749 W*s |
| 40 pdl*ft | 1.6856 W*s |
| 50 pdl*ft | 2.107 W*s |
Example 1:
Convert 10 pdl*ft to W*s:
10 pdl*ft = 10 × 0.04214 W*s = 0.4214 W*s
Example 2:
Convert 25 pdl*ft to W*s:
25 pdl*ft = 25 × 0.04214 W*s = 1.0535 W*s
The Poundal Foot to Watt-second Converter has its roots in the integration of two distinct measurement systems: the British Engineering system and the International System of Units. This tool bridges the gap, providing a seamless conversion process for engineers and scientists working across different units of energy and work.
Explore the practicality of the Poundal Foot to Watt-second Converter through its real-life applications that are essential in various fields.
Example 1:
To convert 30 pdl*ft to W*s:
30 pdl*ft = 30 × 0.04214 W*s = 1.2642 W*s
Example 2:
To convert 45 pdl*ft to W*s:
45 pdl*ft = 45 × 0.04214 W*s = 1.8963 W*s
