What does the unit of thrust, “lb”, mean?
lb is the imperial unit for ‘pound’. 1 pound = 0.454 kilograms
Agree with what was said on the 2nd floor. But when used as a unit of \"force,\" it should be \"lbf,\" similar to how we often refer to kilogram-force (kgf) by abbreviating it as kilogram (kg). 1lbf=0.4536kgf =4.448N
Agree with what was said on the 3rd floor; the unit of force is not simply pounds

The pound, as a unit of force, should be roughly equivalent to kilogram-force
LB (lb) is the abbreviation for the unit of weight pound, used in the British and American systems. One pound equals 4.4482 newtons, and one kilogram is approximately equal to 2.2046 pounds. 1 pound = 0.45359 kilograms, or 453.59 grams.
That’s right, it’s pounds; these are the units used for gaskets, such as 300lb and so on
