What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert force values from the pound foot per square second unit, commonly known as the poundal, into petanewtons [PT], an SI-derived unit for extremely large forces.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the force value in pound foot per square second.
- Select 'pound foot/square second' as the input unit and 'petanewton [PT]' as the output unit.
- Click convert to see the equivalent force expressed in petanewtons.
Key Features
- Supports conversion between the pound foot/square second and petanewton [PT] units.
- Browser-based and easy to use without any installation.
- Ideal for translating legacy imperial FPS units into large-scale SI force values.
Examples
- Converting 100 pound foot/square second gives 1.38254954376e-14 petanewton [PT].
- Converting 0.5 pound foot/square second results in 6.9127477188e-17 petanewton [PT].
Common Use Cases
- Solving classroom problems involving FPS force units where pound denotes mass.
- Analyzing legacy engineering documents using imperial units for force.
- Comparing small-scale mechanical forces to astronomical or planetary scale forces in geophysics and astrophysics.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure the input force is expressed in pound foot per square second before converting.
- Use petanewton as the output unit only when dealing with extremely large forces to maintain meaningful results.
- Cross-check conversions when working between imperial and SI unit systems for accuracy.
Limitations
- Because the conversion factor is extremely small, results in petanewton will often be tiny numbers unsuitable for everyday force calculations.
- Petanewtons are practical only for very large force magnitudes, so avoid using this unit for small-scale dynamics to prevent confusion.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a pound foot per square second?
- It is a force unit in the FPS system equal to the force needed to accelerate a 1 lb mass at 1 ft/s², also known as the poundal.
- What does petanewton measure?
- A petanewton is an SI-derived unit representing extremely large forces, equal to 10^15 newtons, used in planetary and stellar-scale physics.
- When should I use petanewton units?
- Use petanewtons to express very large forces encountered in astrophysics, geophysics, and planetary sciences rather than small everyday forces.
Key Terminology
