What are Newton and Poundal

Definition of Newton

The Newton, symbolized as 'N', is a fundamental unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Named after Sir Isaac Newton, it quantifies the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. In everyday terms, one Newton is roughly the force exerted by Earth's gravity on a mass of 102 grams. Widely used in physics and engineering, the Newton provides a standardized measure for force, facilitating calculations and ensuring consistency across scientific disciplines.

Definition of Poundal

The Poundal, abbreviated as 'pdl', is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It represents the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. Although less commonly used today, the poundal played a significant role in classical mechanics, providing a measure of force for engineers and physicists. In the context of conversions, understanding the poundal helps bridge the gap between traditional imperial units and the SI system, enhancing comprehension and facilitating accurate calculations across different measurement systems.

Conversion of Newton to Poundal

1 N·s/m² = 0.2 pdl·s/ft²
1 pdl·s/ft² = 5 N·s/m²

Example 1:
convert 5 N·s/m² to pdl·s/ft²:
5 N·s/m² = 5 × 0.2 pdl·s/ft² = 1 pdl·s/ft²

Example 2:
convert 3.5 N·s/m² to pdl·s/ft²:
3.5 N·s/m² = 3.5 × 0.2 pdl·s/ft² = 0.7 pdl·s/ft²
