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:
1 lbf\cdotpft/s2=force×distance÷time2
1 lbf\cdotpft/s2≈1.35582 N\cdotpm/s2
Kilonewton [kN]
The kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).
1 kN=1,000 N
It represents the force required to accelerate a 1,000 kg mass at 1 meter per second squared.
Kilonewtons are commonly used to measure larger forces in engineering, construction, and physics, such as the load on structures, thrust in engines, or tension in cables.
Example: The force exerted by a 100 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 0.98 kN.
