Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)

The gerah was the smallest unit of weight in ancient Biblical Hebrew measurement systems. It is traditionally considered 1/20 of a shekel.

Since a shekel weighed about 11 grams, a gerah would weigh roughly 0.55 grams. The gerah was used to measure small amounts of precious metals like silver and gold, important in commerce and religious rituals.

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:

   
   

2. 
   

   Second squared (s²) is just time squared.

   
   
3. 
   

   Foot (ft) is length:
