Gram (abbreviation: gm): is a SI (metric) system unit of mass. Where, at the temperature of melting ice, it is the absolute weight of a volume equal to the hundredth part of a metre cube of pure water.
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 Grams to Kilopounds
Example: How many kilopounds are equivalent to 41.75 grams?
As;
1 grams = 2.20462E-6 kilopounds
41.75 grams = Y kilopounds
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 41.75 times 2.20462E-6 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 41.75 * 2.20462E-6 / 1 = 9.2042885E-5 kilopounds
Answer is: 9.2042885E-5 kilopounds are equivalent to 41.75 grams.
