What are Pound and Kilopound-force

Definition of Pound

A pound (lb) is a unit of mass commonly used in the United States and other countries that have adopted the Imperial system. It is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. Historically, the term 'pound' is derived from the Roman unit 'libra,' which is also the origin of the abbreviation 'lb.' The pound has been used for centuries in various forms and is still widely employed today in everyday measurements, commercial transactions, and various fields of science and engineering.

Definition of Kilopound-force

Kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force that equals 1,000 pounds-force. It is commonly used in engineering and structural analysis to measure large forces, especially in fields such as civil engineering, aeronautics, and mechanical engineering. One kilopound-force is equivalent to 4.44822 kilonewtons. The term 'kip' originates from a combination of 'kilo' and 'pound,' which indicates that it is 1,000 pounds. Using kilopound-force simplifies calculations and documentation when dealing with large forces.
