Common force conversion mistakes
-
The kilogram is a mass and the newton is a force. A bathroom scale displays kilograms but senses a force, converting for you with the earth's gravity built in. On the moon the same scale would read a sixth, while the mass is exactly the same.
-
A pound (lb) and a pound-force (lbf) are not the same thing, although both are spoken as "pounds". The pound is mass, the pound-force is the force that mass produces under standard gravity: 1 lbf = 4.4482216152605 N. Tensile ratings and cable loads are quoted in lbf.
