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 $10^{-1}$ (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.

Poundal (pdl)

The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of measurement. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. In other words,

1 poundal = 1 lb × 1 ft/s².

The poundal is much smaller than the more commonly used pound-force (lbf). It’s mainly used in some engineering contexts and classical mechanics problems where the FPS system is preferred. However, it is less common than the SI unit of force, the newton.

Conversion:

1 poundal ≈ 0.13825 newtons.
