Sorry, this seems to be going on forever but Pounds and Kilograms are both
measures of mass not weight, weight is a force - Newton and Pound-force are
measures of force e.g. the force exerted by an object of a given mass on the
ground due to the force of gravity (Weight).

Weight (pounds/kilograms) = mass x g, so you can't really convert weight to
g-force since g is already the factor giving weight to mass. You can
convert your pounds to kilograms (1kg = 2.204lbs), then divide by g
(9.81m/s/s) to get mass. You can divide the mass by its volume to get its
density.
What are you trying to calculate?

How do you convert pound/kilogram to G-force? Is this convertable? Since
G-force is somewhat time derived and pound/kilogram is force derived?
Any help is appreciated.
