What are Poundal and Millijoule

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, primarily used in the United States. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. One poundal equates to approximately 0.1382 newtons in the International System of Units (SI). This measurement is not commonly used today, having been largely replaced by the SI unit of force, the newton.

Definition of Millijoule

A millijoule (mJ) is a unit of energy in the metric system, which is a decimal-based standard of measurement. One millijoule is equal to one-thousandth of a joule, the SI unit of energy. It represents the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter. The millijoule is commonly used in scientific and electrical applications to measure small quantities of energy.
