What are Poundal and Kilocalorie

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 needed to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Essentially, one poundal equates to 1 lb·ft/s². This unit of measurement is not as commonly used today, having been largely replaced by the Newton in the International System of Units (SI).

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, symbolized as kcal, is a unit of energy. It is commonly used in nutrition to express the energy content in food. One kilocalorie is equivalent to 1,000 calories, with the term 'calorie' often used in place of 'kilocalorie' in dietary contexts. In scientific terms, it is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.
