Conversion Formula
The conversion from newtons to pounds is based on the formula: pounds = newtons * 0.2248. This works because a newton is a metric unit of force, and pounds are imperial units. The factor 0.2248 is derived from dividing 1 pound-force (lbf) by 1 newton (N). For example, converting 4.45 N: 4.45 * 0.2248 = 1.0 lbs, confirming the result.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 newtons to lbs:
- Step 1: Write the formula: lbs = N * 0.2248
- Step 2: Substitute 10 for N: lbs = 10 * 0.2248
- Step 3: Multiply: 10 * 0.2248 = 2.248 lbs
- Result: 10 newtons equals approximately 2.248 lbs
- Convert 15 newtons to lbs:
- Step 1: Formula: lbs = 15 * 0.2248
- Step 2: Multiply: 15 * 0.2248 = 3.372 lbs
- Result: 15 newtons is about 3.372 lbs
- Convert 7.2 newtons to lbs:
- Step 1: Formula: lbs = 7.2 * 0.2248
- Step 2: Multiply: 7.2 * 0.2248 = 1.61856 lbs
- Result: 7.2 newtons approximately equals 1.6186 lbs
