Force Conversion Guide

Physics Fundamentals

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma)

1 Newton is the force needed to accelerate 1 kg at 1 m/s²

Forces are vectors - they have both magnitude and direction

Weight is a force (measured in Newtons), mass is not

Your mass stays constant, but weight changes with gravity

Human & Engineering

Average person weighs about 700 N (70 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

Human bite force ranges from 200-1000 N depending on age/health

A firm handshake exerts about 100-200 N of force

Steel cables can withstand millions of Newtons before breaking

Quick Conversion Tips

Quick conversion: 1 lbf ≈ 4.4 N (multiply by 4.4)

1 kgf = 9.8 N exactly (weight of 1 kg)

Remember: pounds-force (lbf) ≠ pounds-mass (lbm)

Force = Pressure × Area (N = Pa × m²)

Transportation Forces

Car engines produce 1000-5000 N of force at the wheels

Aircraft engines generate 100,000-500,000 N of thrust

Spacecraft need millions of Newtons to escape Earth's gravity

Microscopic Forces

Atomic forces are incredibly small - measured in piconewtons

DNA unzips under forces of about 65 piconewtons

Van der Waals forces hold molecules together with femtonewton strength
