Kilopound-Force [kipf]

The kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.

• 
  

  It equals 1,000 pound-force (lbf).

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  The kipf is often used to express large forces such as structural loads, stresses in materials, or foundation pressures.

  
  
• 
  

  It simplifies large force values by grouping them in thousands of pounds-force, making calculations and communication more convenient.

  
  

Pound Foot per Square Second [lbf·ft/s²]

This unit represents a torque or moment of force per unit time squared (though it’s an uncommon combination and can sometimes be context-specific).

• 
  

  It combines pound-force (lbf), a unit of force, with foot (ft), a unit of length, divided by second squared (s²), a unit of time squared.

  
  
• 
  

  It may be used in dynamics or rotational mechanics when dealing with angular accelerations or rate changes of torque.

  
  
• 
  

  In basic terms:

  
  

• 
  

  Since 1 lbf ≈ 4.44822 newtons and 1 ft ≈ 0.3048 meters, this can be converted into SI units as:

  Note: This unit is not commonly standard; usage depends on the specific physical context, like rotational dynamics.
