| dyne | dyne - g cm/s2 | 1e-05 N | i- dyne
- CGS unit of force. One dyne is the force that accelerates a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second per second. Expressed in SI units, the dyne equals 10-5 newton.

| Poundal | Poundal | 1.38255e-01 N | i- Poundal
- English unit of force used in engineering. One poundal is the force that accelerates a mass of one pound at the rate of one foot per second.
|
| Newton | N | 1 N | i- Newton
- SI unit of force. A force of one newton will accelerate a mass of one kilogram at the rate of one meter per second per second.
|
| pound force | lbf | 4.44822 N | i- pound force
- One pound of mass is 0.453 592 kilograms and the acceleration of gravity averages 9.806 65 m/s2 at the surface of the Earth, one pound force equals the product of these two numbers, 4.448 221 615 newtons.
|
| kilogram force | kgf | 9.80665 N | i- kilogram force
- Unit of force equal to the gravitational force on a mass of one kilogram.
|
| Kilo Newton | kN | 1e+03 N | |
| Sthene | Sthene | 1e+03 N | i- Sthene
- Metric unit of force, part of the metre-tonne-second system sometimes used by European engineers. One sthene is the force required to accelerate a mass of one tonne at a rate of 1 m/s2. Thus the sthene is equal to the kilonewton
|
| kip | kip | 4.44822e+03 N | i- kip
- Informal unit of force, sometimes used by engineers to express the amount of weight borne by a structure. One kip equals 1000 pounds (453.59 kilograms) of force or about 4.4482 kilonewtons The name of the unit is an abbreviation of kilopound.
