Pound-force (lbf) to Newton (N) converter

Converting from Pound-force (lbf) to Newton (N) in Force

What is Pound-force (lbf)

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force in the Imperial system. It is commonly used to measure force in the United States. One pound-force is approximately equal to the force exerted by gravity on a one-pound mass.

What is Newton (N)

Newton (N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is used in the metric system to measure force. One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
