You can view more details on each measurement unit: pounds or kilograms The SI derived unit for force is the newton. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results. Use this page to learn how to convert between pounds-force and kilograms-force. Type in your own numbers in the form to convert the units! You can do the reverse unit conversion from kilograms to pounds , or enter any two units below:. It is currently defined based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, h, which is equal to 6.
Even though the definition of the kilogram was changed in , the actual size of the unit remained the same. The changes were intended to improve the definitions of SI base units, not to actually change how the units are used throughout the world. SI is a system based on the meter-kilogram-second system of units rather than a centimeter-gram-second system. This is at least in part due to the inconsistencies and lack of coherence that can arise through use of centimeter-gram-second systems, such as those between the systems of electrostatic and electromagnetic units.
The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of one liter of water at its freezing point in , but was eventually re-defined, since measuring the mass of a volume of water was imprecise and cumbersome.
A new definition of the kilogram was introduced in based on Planck's constant and changes to the definition of the second. Weight Conversion ». Facebook Twitter.
