This guide helps you easily convert between various force units used in physics and engineering. Whether you're working with Newtons (N), Kilonewtons (kN), Pounds-force (lbf), or Dynes (dyn), this tutorial provides the formulas and examples you need to make accurate conversions.
In the sections below, you will find detailed explanations and step-by-step examples for converting between different force units.
Formula: Newtons = Kilonewtons * 1,000
Example: Convert 0.5 Kilonewtons to Newtons.
Solution: 0.5 kN * 1,000 = 500 N
Formula: Newtons = Pounds-force * 4.44822
Example: Convert 10 Pounds-force to Newtons.
Solution: 10 lbf * 4.44822 = 44.4822 N
Formula: Newtons = Dynes * 1e-5
Example: Convert 1,000,000 Dynes to Newtons.
Solution: 1,000,000 dyn * 1e-5 = 10 N
