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.

Centigram [cg]

The centigram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-hundredth of a gram.

1 centigram = 0.01 grams
1 centigram = 10⁻⁵ kilograms
Symbol: cg

Key Facts:

Used for measuring very small masses, especially in scientific and pharmaceutical fields
The prefix "centi-" means $10^{-2}$ (one-hundredth)
Smaller than a decigram but larger than a milligram

The centigram provides precise measurement for small quantities where decigrams are too large.
