What are Poundal and Dyne

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, commonly used in the United States. It measures the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. Although not widely embraced in scientific contexts, it plays a crucial role in engineering, particularly in mechanical applications. The poundal offers an alternative to the more universally adopted Newton in the metric system, providing engineers and technicians reliant on the FPS system with a practical means of quantifying force. Understanding the poundal is essential for those working within this framework.

Definition of Dyne

The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, predominantly used in physics and engineering. It represents the force needed to accelerate a one-gram mass by one centimeter per second squared. Although less common than the Newton, the dyne remains significant in specific scientific fields, particularly in experimental physics and material science. Its usage facilitates precise calculations and measurements at small scales, offering an alternative to the metric system's broader application. The dyne's relevance endures, crucial for professionals working within the CGS framework to understand and utilize effectively.
