A Decinewton (dN) is a unit of force in the metric system, representing one-tenth of a Newton. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, this unit measures the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify smaller forces. Decinewtons offer a convenient way to express force measurements, especially when dealing with values that are less than a Newton but still significant in practical applications.
Definition of Pound-forcePound-force (lbf) is a unit of force in the imperial system, representing the force exerted by gravity on one pound of mass at the Earth's surface. Specifically, one pound-force equals approximately 4.44822 Newtons. This unit is widely used in the United States and other countries that follow the imperial system, especially in engineering and physics. It provides a practical measure of force in everyday scenarios, such as measuring the thrust of engines, the tension in cables, or the load-bearing capacity of structures.
| Decinewton (dN) | Pound-force (lbf) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 dN | 0.02248 lbf |
| 0.2 dN | 0.04496 lbf |
| 0.3 dN | 0.06744 lbf |
| 0.4 dN | 0.08992 lbf |
| 0.5 dN | 0.11240 lbf |
| 0.6 dN | 0.13488 lbf |
| 0.7 dN | 0.15736 lbf |
| 0.8 dN | 0.17984 lbf |
| 0.9 dN | 0.20232 lbf |
| 1 dN | 0.22481 lbf |
1 dN = 0.22481 lbf
1 lbf = 4.44822 dN
Example 1:
convert 5 dN to lbf:
5 dN = 5 × 0.22481 lbf = 1.12405 lbf
Example 2:
convert 3.5 dN to lbf:
3.5 dN = 3.5 × 0.22481 lbf = 0.786835 lbf
