What are Dyne and Poundal

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. The dyne, therefore, is a relatively small unit compared to the Newton, which is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). One dyne equals 10^-5 Newtons. Originally introduced to simplify calculations in physics, the dyne is often used in scientific contexts where small forces are involved, particularly in studies of surface tension and viscosity.

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, commonly used in some engineering applications. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. The poundal is not as widely used as the Newton, the SI unit of force, but it serves as a convenient measure in certain contexts, especially within the United States. One poundal equals approximately 0.138255 Newtons. Historically, it provided a straightforward way to handle force-related calculations in systems relying on feet, pounds, and seconds.
