Pound-Force per Pound To Newtons per Kilogram Converter
How This Converter Works
Convert Pound-Force per Pound (lbf/lb) to Newtons per Kilogram (N/kg) by multiplying by the conversion factor. Divide by the same factor to convert back.
Formula or rule
Newtons per Kilogram (N/kg) = Pound-Force per Pound (lbf/lb) × 9.80665; reverse: Pound-Force per Pound (lbf/lb) = Newtons per Kilogram (N/kg) ÷ 9.80665
Example
- Input
- 1 lbf/lb
- Calculation
- 1 * 9.80665 = 9.80665
- Result
- 9.80665 N/kg
Notes
NIST SP 811, Appendix B.9 identifies this as thrust-to-mass ratio; the exact ratio is standard gravity, 9.80665 N/kg.
