What are Poundal and Megawatt-hour

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the British engineering system of units, part of the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. Essentially, one poundal is equal to the force that produces an acceleration of one foot per second per second on a one-pound object.

Definition of Megawatt-hour

A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy commonly used to measure electricity production and consumption. It represents one million watts of power expended for one hour of time. Put another way, a megawatt-hour is equivalent to a steady power output of one megawatt sustained over an entire hour. This unit is crucial for quantifying large-scale energy use, such as that of cities or large industrial facilities.
