pound-force per square foot to newton per square meter
Please provide values below to convert pound-force per square foot [psf] to newton per square meter [N/m^2], or change ↔.
pound-force per square foot [psf]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to the pressure produced by one pound-force applied to an area of one square foot.
Historyandorigin: Used in the imperial system for larger-scale pressure measurements, especially in construction and civil engineering.
CurrentUse: Used to measure pressure on larger surfaces, such as the load on roofs or floors in buildings.
funfact: In construction, psf is used to measure the pressure exerted on buildings from snow, wind, and other environmental factors!
newton per square meter [N/m^2]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equivalent to one pascal (1 N/m^2 = 1 Pa).
Historyandorigin: This unit is based on Newton's second law of motion, where force is applied over an area.
CurrentUse: Used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise pressure measurements, particularly in the study of fluids and gases.
funfact: The newton per square meter is another way to express pressure, often interchangeable with pascals!

How to Convert pound-force per square foot to newton per square meter
1 pound-force per square foot [psf] = 0.0208854342 newton per square meter [N/m^2]
1 newton per square meter [N/m^2] = 47.88025898 pound-force per square foot [psf]
we use cross multiplication method
pound-force per square foot [psf] → newton per square meter [N/m^2]
1 → 0.0208854342
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0208854342=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0313281513
