Quintal (Metric) [cwt]


The metric quintal is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms. It is widely used in agriculture and commerce for measuring bulk goods like grains, produce, and livestock feed.


Though called "quintal," it differs from other regional versions like the British hundredweight (cwt). In some countries, especially those using the metric system, the quintal serves as a convenient intermediate unit between kilograms and metric tons.


Summary:



  • 1 metric quintal = 100 kg



  • Common in farming and trade for easy large-quantity measurements




It looks like you mentioned "pound-force square second per foot". This is a compound unit that can be broken down into:



  • pound-force (lbf): a unit of force



  • square second (s²): time squared



  • per foot (ft⁻¹): per unit length



What does this unit represent?


It could be a unit for something like mass or inertia-related quantities in imperial units, depending on context. For example, it might show up in equations involving force, time, and length — possibly in mechanics or engineering.




To understand or convert it:



  1. Pound-force (lbf) is a force unit, where:



1lbf=4.44822N1\, \text{lbf} = 4.44822\, \text{N}

  1. Second squared (s²) is just time squared.



  2. Foot (ft) is length:



1ft=0.3048m1\, \text{ft} = 0.3048\, \text{m}


Example usage


If you want to convert pound-force square second per foot (lbfs2/ft)(\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{ft}) into SI units:


lbfs2/ftNewtons2/meter\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{ft} \rightarrow \text{Newton} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{meter}

Since


1lbf=4.44822N,1ft=0.3048m1\, \text{lbf} = 4.44822\, \text{N}, \quad 1\, \text{ft} = 0.3048\, \text{m}
1lbfs2ft=4.44822Ns20.3048m14.6Ns2m1\, \frac{\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2}{\text{ft}} = \frac{4.44822\, \text{N} \cdot \text{s}^2}{0.3048\, \text{m}} \approx 14.6\, \frac{\text{N} \cdot \text{s}^2}{\text{m}}


Could you tell me more about where or how you want to use this unit? That would help me give a more specific explanation or conversion!
