What is a pound foot/square second?

It is a force unit used in the FPS system defined as the force needed to accelerate a 1 pound mass at 1 foot per second squared, commonly called a poundal.

What does exanewton [EN] measure?

Exanewton is an SI-derived unit equal to 10^18 newtons, used to quantify extremely large forces such as those in astrophysics.

Why convert pound foot/square second to exanewton?

This conversion allows comparison of forces from the FPS system with vast astrophysical forces expressed in exanewtons, bridging small-scale mechanics and massive celestial events.

What Is This Tool?

This converter translates force values from the pound foot per square second unit, which is part of the foot–pound–second (FPS) system, into the exanewton [EN], an SI-derived unit representing extremely large forces. It is designed for users working across disciplines that require conversions between historical imperial units and very large SI force units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the force value in pound foot/square second.
Select 'pound foot/square second' as the source unit and 'exanewton [EN]' as the target unit.
Submit the input to get the equivalent force expressed in exanewtons.
Use the results to compare or translate force magnitudes across different scales.

Key Features

Converts pound foot/square second to exanewton [EN] accurately based on standardized conversion rates.
Supports force measurement conversions between FPS and SI systems.
Suitable for contexts ranging from classical mechanics to astrophysics and planetary science.
Easy-to-use online interface with straightforward input and output.

Examples

10 pound foot/square second equals 1.38254954376e-18 exanewton [EN].
100 pound foot/square second equals 1.38254954376e-17 exanewton [EN].

Common Use Cases

Solving classroom and textbook problems involving FPS units in classical mechanics.
Converting legacy engineering calculations from imperial to SI units.
Estimating extremely large forces in astrophysical phenomena like star interactions or planetary collisions.
Analyzing high-energy impacts and tidal forces in planetary science research.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the force value entered is in pound foot/square second to maintain conversion accuracy.
Use this converter primarily when dealing with force scales that differ vastly, such as small FPS forces and extremely large SI forces.
Double-check unit selections to avoid errors when switching between systems.
Be mindful that resulting values may be very small due to the unit magnitude difference.

Limitations

Conversions yield very small numbers since pound foot/square second is much smaller than an exanewton.
Not suitable for everyday or typical engineering-scale force comparisons.
Precision may be affected when converting very small magnitudes due to the large scale difference.
