Convert kilograms force to pound force, abbreviated as kgf to lbf. This is based formula: 1 kilograms force = 2.2046226 pound force, under this rule, kilograms forces can be easily converted into pound forces. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
The force which applied on the one kilogram of mass of object to change the acceleration is called kilogram force.
For example the force applied on 1kg of football to change its motion will be one kilogram force.
As discussed above, it has close relation with gram force with a difference in mass for both of units.
It is represented with kgf.
In SI one kgf = 9.80665 m/s2
Pound of force is used in the system of measurement including English Engineering unit and foot-pound-system. Foot-pound and pound force are two separate units, avoid mixing these two.
The force which is applied on an object of mass of one pound at the rate of 32.174 ft/s is called one pound force. It is equal to the gravitational force that is applied on the one pound mass of object on this earth planet. This is very helpful because experiments have shown that gravitational force on one pound mass of object is equal to the one pound force.
The value of gravitational force is taken as 9.87 meter per square second.
Pound force is often represented with lb whereas force that is applied on one pound gram of object is represented with lbf.
If you want to know how to convert kilograms force to pound force, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
The Kilograms Force to Pound Force formula is:
1 Kilograms Force = 2.2046226 pound force
Or convert the formula:
1 pound force = 0.4535924 kilograms force
Through the formula, two answers can be easily obtained:
In other words, 1 kilograms force equal to 2.2046226 pound force. To convert kilograms forces to pound forces, just multiply kilograms force by 2.2046226 or divide by 0.4535924.
For example, convert 10 kgf to lbf
10 kgf = 10 × 2.2046226 lbf = 22.046226 lbf
or
10 ÷ 0.4535924 = 22.046226 lbf
Through the above content, now you know how to convert kilograms force to pound force.
