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.

Ounce [oz]

The ounce is a unit of mass used in the imperial and U.S. customary systems, primarily for measuring small weights like food, mail, and precious metals.

1 ounce = 1/16 of a pound
1 ounce ≈ 28.3495 grams
Symbol: oz (from Latin uncia, meaning "a twelfth part")

Key Facts:

1 oz = 0.0625 lb
1 oz ≈ 28.35 g
