Understanding the Units:
Newton (N) is the SI unit of force. One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.
Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force used in the imperial system. One pound-force is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a one-pound mass at the Earth's surface.
Conversion Formula:
1 Newton (N) = 0.224808943 pounds-force (lbf)
1 Pound-force (lbf) = 4.4482216152605 Newtons (N)
