Pound-force to Dyne Converter
Formula
To convert pounds-force to dynes, multiply the force value by 444,822.
Pound-force Definition
The pound-force is a unit of force in the imperial system. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate one pound of mass at the rate of 32.174 feet per second squared (the standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth).
Derived from the pound as a mass unit and Earth's gravitational field.
Dyne Definition
The dyne is the unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.
Part of the CGS system developed in the 19th century.
