Kip = N (N = kg-m/s2)
Kip = lbf, pound force
N = lbf, pound force
One Newton (N) is the amount of force needed to accelerate (in other word to move, to push) a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second every second (per second every second is the meaning of per second squared). In other
words, if you push a one-kilogram object and it speeds up by one meter per second every second, you're applying a force of one Newton.
The formula
to calculate force in Newton is F = m x a, where F is the force in Newtons, m is the mass in kilograms, and a is
the acceleration in meters per second squared. The gravitational acceleration constant on earth is 9.8 meter per second squared. It means a typical 0.10 kg
mass of apple when it falls from the tree the gravity will pulls it down at 9.8 meter per second squared acceleration.
Applying the formula, F = m a
F= 0.10 kg x 9.8 m/s2 = 0.980 N by rounding off
F= 0.98 N = 1 N
