Exanewton [EN]


Exanewton is an extremely large unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 exanewton (EN) equals 101810^{18} newtons.



  • It is used to describe unimaginably large forces, far beyond typical everyday or industrial scales.



  • Such magnitudes might appear in astrophysics or theoretical physics when dealing with forces on cosmic scales.



For context:


1 EN=1018 N1 \text{ EN} = 10^{18} \text{ N}

This unit is mostly theoretical and rarely used in practical measurements due to its enormous size.


Poundal [pdl]


The poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, mainly used in the United States.



  • It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared.



  • Mathematically:



1 pdl=1 lbร—1 ft/s2=0.138255 newtons1 \text{ pdl} = 1 \text{ lb} \times 1 \text{ ft/s}^2 = 0.138255 \text{ newtons}

  • The poundal is smaller than the pound-force since Earth's gravity accelerates a pound mass at approximately 32.174 ft/sยฒ, making:



1 lbf=32.174 pdl1 \text{ lbf} = 32.174 \text{ pdl}

  • It is mostly of historical interest and rarely used in modern engineering but can appear in classical mechanics problems using the FPS system.
