Atomic Mass Unit (abbreviations: amu, or u): also known as dalton (symbol: Da), is a standard unit of mass that used on an atomic or molecular scale (atomic mass). One unified atomic mass unit is about the mass of one nucleon (either a single proton or neutron) and equivalent to 1 g/mol.
Kilopound (abbreviation: kips): is a unit of force, equivalent to 1000 pounds (lb) which is used in some systems of measurement including English Engineering units and the British Gravitational System. Also, it is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customary and other systems of measurement.
How to Convert Atomic Mass Units to Kilopounds
Example: How many kilopounds are equivalent to 26.98 atomic mass units?
As;
1 atomic mass units = 3.6597330342796E-30 kilopounds
26.98 atomic mass units = Y kilopounds
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 26.98 times 3.6597330342796E-30 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 26.98 * 3.6597330342796E-30 / 1 = 9.8739597264863E-29 kilopounds
Answer is: 9.8739597264863E-29 kilopounds are equivalent to 26.98 atomic mass units.
