Force
Force is a push or pull acting on an object. The SI unit is the newton, while pound-force and kilogram-force appear in engineering, testing, and older references. Force conversion is helpful in physics problems, mechanical design, and materials testing. This page also helps users avoid confusing force units with mass units like kilograms.
