What are Poundal and Gram-force

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, also known as the British Engineering System. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. The poundal is rooted in the fundamental physics equation F=ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force is a metric unit of force not part of the SI units. One gram-force is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a one-gram mass. In essence, it measures the amount of gravitational force acting on a gram. The concept stems from Newton's second law, equating force to the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
