What are Dyne and Poundal

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force specified in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, symbolized as 'dyn'. One dyne is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. This unit is not as widely used today due to the prevalence of the International System of Units (SI), which uses the newton as the unit of force.

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system, symbolized as 'pdl'. One poundal is the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second per second. Although not commonly used today, the poundal is still recognized in certain contexts, especially in scientific literature and engineering in some English-speaking countries.
