Force (Math.Units)

Force Module

Namespace: Math.Units
Assembly: Math.Units.dll

A Force value represents a force in newtons, pounds force etc. It is stored as a number of newtons.

Note

Since Newtons is defined as Product<Kilograms, MetersPerSecondSquared>, you can compute force directly as a product of mass and acceleration:


     let mass =
         Mass.kilograms 10
     let acceleration =
         Acceleration.metersPerSecondSquared 2
     mass |> Quantity.times acceleration
     --> Force.newtons 20

Functions and values

Function or value	Description
`inKips force` Full Usage: `inKips force` Parameters: force : `Force` Returns: `float`	Convert a force value to a number of kips. force : `Force` Returns: `float`
`inPounds force` Full Usage: `inPounds force` Parameters: force : `Force` Returns: `float`	Convert a force value to a number of pounds force. force : `Force` Returns: `float`
`kips numKips` Full Usage: `kips numKips` Parameters: numKips : `float` Returns: `Force`	Construct a force value from a number of kips (kilopounds force). `Force.kips 2 --> Force.pounds 2000` numKips : `float` Returns: `Force`
`pounds numPounds` Full Usage: `pounds numPounds` Parameters: numPounds : `float` Returns: `Force`	Construct a force value from a number of pounds force. One pound force is the force required to accelerate one pound mass at a rate of one gee. numPounds : `float` Returns: `Force`
