What is a Pound-force (lbf)?
The pound-force (lbf) is an imperial unit of force equal to the gravitational force exerted on a one-pound mass at standard gravity (approximately 4.448 N). It is commonly used in engineering in the United States.
What is a Newton (N)?
The Newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton.
