In the given material, 1 k/N equals how many pounds?

In the given material, 1 k/N equals how many pounds?

• A. 225
• B. 200
• C. 250
• D. 275

Answer: (A)

Converting kilonewtons to pounds-force is the key idea. The standard conversion is 1 N ≈ 0.224809 lb_f, so 1 kN = 1000 N ≈ 224.809 lb_f. Rounding to the nearest whole pound gives about 225 pounds. Therefore, 1 kN equals roughly 225 pounds-force. The other numbers would require different amounts of kilonewtons (for example, about 0.89 kN for 200 lb or about 1.11 kN for 250 lb), so they don’t match 1 kN.
