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.

Gram (g)

The gram is a unit of mass in the metric system and a derived unit in the SI (International System of Units).

It is defined as one-thousandth of a kilogram:

1 gram = 0.001 kilograms (10⁻³ kg)
Symbol: g
The gram is commonly used to measure small quantities of mass, such as in cooking, medicine, and science.

Key Facts:

1 g = 1/1000 of a kilogram
Widely used in daily life and science for small masses
Metric and SI-compatible

Though the kilogram is the SI base unit for mass, the gram is more practical for everyday use.
