In this article I will show you how to convert 179 pound-forces into newtons. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 179 lbf to n. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Pound-forces to Newtons
A pound-forces is greater than a newton. I know that a lbf is greater than a n because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 179 pound-forces into newtons, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for lbf to n is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 179 lbf to n by multiplying 4.44822 by the number of pound-forces we have, which is 179.
So, the answer to the question "what is 179 pound-forces in newtons?" is 796.23138 n.
