#include <codecogs/units/convert/force.h>

using namespace Units::Convert;

double force(double number, units from_unit, units to_unit)

Overview

The standard measurement units are:

Unit names	Alternate names / spellings	Abbreviation	Enumeration Code	Conversion Rate (relative to first unit)
Force
Newtons	Newton	N	unit_N	1
Gram Force	Grams Force	gf	unit_gf	101.9716213
Joules/Centimeter	Joules/Centimetre	J/cm	unit_J-cm	100
Joules/Meter	Joules/Metre	J/m	unit_J-m	1
Ounce Force	Ounces Force	ozf	unit_ozf	3.59694309
Pound Force	Pounds Force	lbf	unit_lbf	0.224808943

FUNCTION

force

Converts a number from one force unit to another.

Example 1

#include <iostream>
#include <codecogs/units/convert/force.h>

using namespace Units::Convert;
int main()
{
  std::cout << "force(10.2,unit_N, unit_lbf)=" << convert(10.2,unit_N, unit_lbf);

  return 0;
}

Output:

force(10.2,unit_N, unit_lbf)= 2.29305121962

Parameters

number

the value in from_unit 's to convert

from_unit

an enumerated value of the initial force type

to_unit

an emuerated value of the output force type

Returns

the value in the converted unit.
