What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform force values from pound foot per square second, a legacy FPS unit, into teranewtons, an SI-derived unit used to express 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 teranewton [TN] as the output unit.
  • Click 'Convert' to see the equivalent force value in teranewtons.
  • Use the converted value for analysis in large-scale force contexts.

Key Features

  • Converts small legacy FPS force units into modern large-scale SI units.
  • Supports scientific and engineering contexts such as aerospace and planetary sciences.
  • Provides quick and straightforward conversion using predefined formulas.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for various technical calculations.

Examples

  • 10 pound foot/square second converts to 1.38254954376e-12 teranewton [TN].
  • 1000 pound foot/square second converts to 1.38254954376e-10 teranewton [TN].

Common Use Cases

  • Classroom mechanics problems using FPS units where pound is treated as mass.
  • Legacy engineering calculations involving FPS units converting to SI force units.
  • Modeling planetary-scale gravitational forces and orbital dynamics.
  • Simulations of very large-impact events or explosions.
  • Expressing large engineered forces like megastructure loads or cumulative rocket thrust.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the correct unit context, since pound in this system denotes mass.
  • Be aware that resulting values are very small due to the difference in unit scales.
  • Use this conversion primarily for scientific scaling or standardization of legacy data.

Limitations

  • The pound foot/square second represents a small force compared to teranewton, causing very small decimal results.
  • Not suitable for everyday force calculations due to scale differences and unit definition complexity.
  • Requires careful interpretation to avoid confusion between pound mass and pound-force units.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound foot/square second measure?
It is a unit of force in the foot–pound–second system representing the force needed to accelerate one pound mass at one foot per second squared.

Why convert pound foot/square second to teranewton?
To express small legacy FPS force quantities in extremely large SI force units suitable for planetary-scale or high-magnitude simulations.

Is pound foot/square second the same as pound-force?
No, pound foot/square second treats pound as a mass unit, whereas pound-force (lbf) represents force directly.

Key Terminology

Pound foot/square second
A force unit in the FPS system equal to one pound mass accelerated at one foot per second squared, also called the poundal.
Teranewton (TN)
An SI derived unit of force equal to 10^12 newtons, used to express extremely large forces.
