Formulas for Force Conversion
The formulas for converting between different force units are based on their relation to Newtons (N), the SI unit of force. Here are the relationships:
- Newton (N): Base unit.
- Kilonewton (kN):
1 \, \text{kN} = 1000 \, \text{N} - Pound-force (lbf):
1 \, \text{lbf} = 4.44822 \, \text{N} - Dyne (dyn):
1 \, \text{dyne} = 10^{-5} \, \text{N}
To convert from one unit to another:
- Convert the given value to Newtons (N).
- Convert the value in Newtons to the target unit.
