Question Re: Shut off spoiler?

From Service Manual (23-116)
When the vehicle reaches 50 mph (80 km/h), the rear spoiler deploys, giving the vehicle 40 Lbs. (356 Newtons) of downforce at 80 mph (129 km/h).
The service manual does say 40lbs @ 80mph, but isn't 356 newtons equivalent to 80 lbs ?
I'm wondering which unit is supposed to be the correct one....
