Decigram [dg]


The decigram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram.



  • 1 decigram = 0.1 grams



  • 1 decigram = 10⁻⁴ kilograms



  • Symbol: dg



Key Facts:



  • Used for measuring small masses, often in laboratory or pharmaceutical contexts



  • The prefix "deci-" means 10110^{-1} (one-tenth)



  • Smaller than a gram but larger than a centigram



The decigram is useful for precise measurement of small quantities where grams are too large a unit.



It looks like you mentioned "pound-force square second per foot". This is a compound unit that can be broken down into:



  • pound-force (lbf): a unit of force



  • square second (s²): time squared



  • per foot (ft⁻¹): per unit length



What does this unit represent?


It could be a unit for something like mass or inertia-related quantities in imperial units, depending on context. For example, it might show up in equations involving force, time, and length — possibly in mechanics or engineering.




To understand or convert it:



  1. Pound-force (lbf) is a force unit, where:



1lbf=4.44822N1\, \text{lbf} = 4.44822\, \text{N}

  1. Second squared (s²) is just time squared.



  2. Foot (ft) is length:



1ft=0.3048m1\, \text{ft} = 0.3048\, \text{m}


Example usage


If you want to convert pound-force square second per foot (lbfs2/ft)(\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{ft}) into SI units:


lbfs2/ftNewtons2/meter\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{ft} \rightarrow \text{Newton} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{meter}

Since


1lbf=4.44822N,1ft=0.3048m1\, \text{lbf} = 4.44822\, \text{N}, \quad 1\, \text{ft} = 0.3048\, \text{m}
1lbfs2ft=4.44822Ns20.3048m14.6Ns2m1\, \frac{\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2}{\text{ft}} = \frac{4.44822\, \text{N} \cdot \text{s}^2}{0.3048\, \text{m}} \approx 14.6\, \frac{\text{N} \cdot \text{s}^2}{\text{m}}


Could you tell me more about where or how you want to use this unit? That would help me give a more specific explanation or conversion!
