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.

Stone (US)

The stone (US) is a unit of weight occasionally used in the United States but much less common than in the UK. In the US, a stone is typically defined as 14 pounds (about 6.35 kilograms), the same as the British stone.

However, the stone is not widely used in American everyday measurements or commerce; it mainly appears in some historical contexts or among communities familiar with British units.

Summary:

1 US stone = 14 pounds (6.35 kg)
Rarely used in modern US measurements
Same weight as the British stone
