Pounds do not convert into Newtons. Pounds are a measure of weight, and Newtons are a measure of force. However, there is also a unit of force called the pound-force, and 1 Newton is 0.22481 lbF.

So, 5 lbF would be 5/0.22481 N or about 22 N.

Protip: You can always ask Google "What is X units in other_units" and it will do the conversion for you. (Example: "What is 5 pounds in newtons" or "What is 3 quarts in liters")
