Poundal Inch [pdl·in]

Poundal inch (pdl·in) is a unit of torque that measures the rotational force produced when one poundal of force is applied perpendicularly at a distance of one inch from the axis of rotation. A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared. Poundal inch is particularly useful for small-scale mechanical systems, precision engineering, and educational applications where forces and torques are relatively low and distances are short. A higher pdl·in value indicates greater torque and more resistance to rotation, while a lower value means the object rotates more easily. Engineers and students use this unit to calculate torque, angular acceleration, and energy in miniature machinery, experimental setups, or theoretical problems. By linking force and rotational distance in inches, poundal inch provides a practical and precise measure for understanding and managing rotational dynamics in compact or small-scale mechanical systems.

Poundal Foot [pdl·ft]

Poundal foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of torque that measures the rotational force applied when one poundal of force is exerted perpendicularly at a distance of one foot from the axis of rotation. A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared. Poundal foot is mainly used in classical mechanics and engineering calculations involving small-scale or theoretical systems in the FPS system. A higher pdl·ft value indicates greater torque and resistance to rotational motion, while a lower value represents less force. Engineers and physicists use this unit to calculate torque, angular acceleration, and energy in mechanical systems, ensuring proper design, efficiency, and stability. By linking force and rotational distance, poundal foot provides a practical measure for analyzing and managing torque in mechanical, experimental, and educational applications.
