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.

Megagram [Mg]

The megagram is a metric unit of mass equal to one million grams.

1 megagram = 10⁶ grams
1 megagram = 1,000 kilograms
