What is a pound-force square second per foot?

It is an imperial mass unit equivalent to the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² under one pound-force, identical to the slug unit.

Why convert pound-force square second/foot to tonnes?

To translate mass measurements from US customary mechanical units into the metric system for international, industrial, or scientific clarity.

Can I use this converter for forces?

No, this tool is intended only for converting mass quantities, not forces.
