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.

Atomic Mass Unit [u]

The atomic mass unit (u), also known as the unified atomic mass unit or dalton (Da), is a standard unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights.

1 u = 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
1 u ≈ 1.66053906660 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms
Symbol: u or Da

Key Facts:

Used to measure the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles
1 hydrogen atom ≈ 1 u
Mass of a proton ≈ 1.007 u, neutron ≈ 1.008 u
Simplifies comparison of atomic-scale masses in chemistry and physics

The atomic mass unit provides a convenient and consistent way to express and compare very small masses at the atomic and molecular scale.
