Teragram [Tg]

The teragram is a metric unit of mass used to measure very large quantities.

1 teragram = 10¹² grams
1 teragram = 1,000,000,000 kilograms (1 billion kilograms)
Symbol: Tg

Key Facts:

Used in fields like environmental science, geology, and meteorology
Useful for measuring large-scale masses such as forest biomass, pollutant emissions, or glacier mass
Part of the SI system, where "tera-" means $10^{12}$

The teragram helps scientists and researchers express large masses in a manageable unit.

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.
