Discover the ease of converting massive gigaton units to poundal feet with our intuitive Gt to pdl·ft converter, designed by Newtum to simplify your calculations.
A gigaton, often abbreviated as Gt, is a metric unit of mass equal to one billion (1,000,000,000) metric tons. One metric ton is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms, making one gigaton equal to one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) kilograms. Gigatons are typically used in discussing large-scale carbon dioxide emissions or the mass of ice sheets.
Definition of PoundalA poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. One poundal is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. It is equivalent to about 1/32.2 of a pound-force, making it a smaller unit of force than what is commonly used in the pound-force system.
