What are Poundal and Terapoise

Definition of Poundal

A Poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, primarily used in the context of physics and engineering. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. The term 'Poundal' originates from the combination of 'pound' and the suffix '-al,' akin to 'decimal,' indicating a fractional unit. Although not as widely used as the newton in the International System of Units (SI), the Poundal remains a crucial part of understanding classical mechanics in certain regions and disciplines. Its utility in calculations involving force and motion demonstrates its continued relevance.

Definition of Terapoise

Terapoise is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, specifically representing a trillion poise. Viscosity measures a fluid's resistance to gradual deformation by shear or tensile stress. The poise, named after physicist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, serves as the primary unit for this measurement. A single poise equates to one dyne-second per square centimeter. As larger scales of viscosity are often encountered in various scientific and industrial applications, the terapoise becomes a practical unit of measurement. Understanding terapoise is essential in fields such as fluid dynamics, engineering, and materials science.

Conversion of Poundal to Terapoise

1 pdl·s/ft² = 0.0001 TP
1 TP = 10000 pdl·s/ft²

Example 1:
convert 50 pdl·s/ft² to TP:
50 pdl·s/ft² = 50 × 0.0001 TP = 0.005 TP

Example 2:
convert 200 pdl·s/ft² to TP:
200 pdl·s/ft² = 200 × 0.0001 TP = 0.02 TP
