How to Convert Newtons to Poundals
To convert a newton measurement to a poundal measurement, multiply the force by the conversion ratio.
Since one newton is equal to 7.233014 poundals, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The force in poundals is equal to the newtons multiplied by 7.233014.
Newtons and poundals are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Newtons
The newton is a unit to for measuring force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.[1]
The newton is the SI derived unit for force in the metric system. Newtons can be abbreviated as N; for example, 1 newton can be written as 1 N.
Newtons can be expressed using the formula: 1 N = 1 kgm / s2
Poundals
The poundal is a unit equal to the force needed to move one pound of mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
The poundal is a US customary and imperial unit of force. It's also used in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. Poundals can be abbreviated as pdl; for example, 1 poundal can be written as 1 pdl.
Poundals can be expressed using the formula: 1 pdl = 1lb × ft / s2
