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.

Tonne [t]

The tonne, also known as the metric ton, is a unit of mass in the metric system equal to 1,000 kilograms or 1 megagram. It is widely used around the world for measuring large quantities of mass, such as in shipping, industry, and science.

The tonne is slightly larger than the US short ton (2,000 pounds) and the UK long ton (2,240 pounds).

Summary:

1 tonne = 1,000 kilograms (about 2,204.62 pounds)
Standard unit for large-scale mass measurements globally
Used in science, industry, and commerce
