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.

Didrachma (Biblical Greek)

The didrachma was an ancient Greek silver coin used during Biblical times, valued at two drachmas (the name means “two drachmas”). It was half the value of the more common tetradrachma.

The didrachma was widely circulated for trade and everyday transactions in Greek and Biblical regions. It typically weighed around 8.5 grams of silver.

This coin played an important role in the economy of the ancient Mediterranean world, appearing in historical and Biblical accounts.
