How do you convert pounds into foot pounds?
First, see the LINK below to learn what a foot-pound is, then read as follows: So as you can see, you cannot convert pounds to foot pounds. The magnitude of a torque is equal to the magnitude of the applied force multiplied by the distance between the object's axis of rotation and the point where the force is applied. That means that one foot-pound of torque is a force of one pound applied one foot from the object's axis of rotation. So if the weight were one foot from the axis, you could say that one foot-pound is equal to one pound. But... Only if the weight was perpendicular to the line from the axis to where the weight was located. Torque is a "turning" force and weight is a "linear" force. Hope that was helpful.
What standard units of the eiglish system include?
The basic units are foot, pound and second.The basic units are foot, pound and second.The basic units are foot, pound and second.The basic units are foot, pound and second.
What is the dimension of moment of force?
The SI unit is the newton-metre, the imperial the foot-pound. For more information please see the wikipedia article.
How many pounds per inch equal 120 foot ponds?
A foot-pound is not a pound per foot, it is a pound times a foot. So the units are not the same. The question has no answer. It is like asking how to convert feet to pounds or seconds to inches.
What is the ppf in pipe?
pound per foot
How many Joules are there in 1 foot pound?
One foot-pound of force equates to about 1.355818 joules.
What is the unit of pressure in the FPS system?
foot/second.square
What is the effect of using an inclined plane to lift an object?
If we have to lift a heavy massive object to a height if we raise it in the vertical direction then the energy that has to be given is to be provided with greater force of course for a shorter distance. ------------------------------ So by using an inclined plane we can reduce the force in an easy bearable way, of course, with the greater distance. THat is why we prefer inclined plane
Which of these is used in downhill skateboarding longboard shortboard inclined board?
the force of gravity, natural force(weight), the applied force(your pushing off of the ground with your foot), and the frictional force.
What is the meaning of 169 pound per foot?
It is an amount of force exerted.

Levers explain how the force applied by a lever is affected by its distance from the fulcrum?
On the side on which the force is being applied, the distance and force are directly proportional. On the other side of the lever, they are inversely proportional. If 1 pound of force is applied to a lever at 1 foot on the left side of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 1 pound of force 1 foot from the right side of the fulcrum. If 1 pound of force is applied 2 feet left of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 2 pounds of force 1 foot from the right side. If 1 pound is applied 4 feet left of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 4 pounds of force 1 foot to the right of the fulcrum. If 1 pound of force is applied 1 foot left of the fulcrum, at 2 feet on the right side, the force will be 1/2 pound. At four feet, it will be 1/4 pound. Etc,
What is the full form of lbf?
foot-pound. That is the application of one pound(al) of force to an object with a lever at 1 foot distance from the point of application. Usually, a torque wrench is used to apply a specific force to a bolt, measured in foot-pounds.
Is in-lb same as lbf-in?
I suppose that the correct spelling is foot pound force.
What is torque and how can it be measured?
Torque is simply twisting force. It is stated in the USA as Foot/Pounds Simply a one foot lever with a 1 pound weight on the end will provide 1 foot pound of torque. EG: A torque wrench measures the amount of force applied to a nut or bolt.
What exactly does foot pounds of torque mean?
It is a U.S. measurement of force. A unit of work equal to the work done by a force of one pound acting through a distance of one foot in the direction of the force.
What is the unit of the measurement of force?
The unit for measure for force in the metric system is the Newton (kilogram-metre per second2), however for the English system it is the pound-force (lbf or lbf), which may be called a foot-pound.
