Newton (abbreviation: N): is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion. One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in direction of the applied force.
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 Newtons to Kilopounds
Example: How many kilopounds are equivalent to 95.91 newtons?
As;
1 newtons = 0.000224809 kilopounds
95.91 newtons = Y kilopounds
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 95.91 times 0.000224809 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 95.91 * 0.000224809 / 1 = 0.02156143119 kilopounds
Answer is: 0.02156143119 kilopounds are equivalent to 95.91 newtons.
