What are Poundal and Btu

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, which is a subset of the English Engineering units. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. This unit reflects the interplay between mass, acceleration, and force, adhering to Newton's second law of motion.

The British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat; it is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Btu is often used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry as well as in power generation and refrigeration.
