What are Pound-force and Newton

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force, abbreviated as lbf, is a unit of force used predominantly in the United States. It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one pound. Specifically, one pound-force is equal to the force exerted by a one-pound object in a standard gravitational field, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared. This unit is widely used in various engineering and physics applications to quantify force.

Definition of Newton

A Newton, symbolized as N, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. Named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work in classical mechanics, one Newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit is widely adopted in scientific and engineering fields to measure force, emphasizing its importance in physics and mechanics.
