What are Poundal and Kilowatt-second

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. One poundal is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. It represents a smaller force unit than the popularly used pound-force.

The kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy. It represents the amount of work done or energy transferred when one kilowatt of power is exerted for a duration of one second. This unit is part of the International System of Units and is a practical measure for various applications involving energy consumption or transfer.
