What are Poundal and Inch-pound

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. The term 'poundal' combines 'pound' and 'acceleration' to represent this specific force measurement.

Definition of Inch-pound

The inch-pound is a unit of torque in the Imperial system of measurements. It represents the rotational force applied when a one-pound force acts at a perpendicular distance of one inch from a pivot point. This unit is widely used in various fields such as engineering and mechanics to quantify torque.
