What are Poundal and Newton

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Essentially, it measures the amount of force applied to an object to change its velocity over time.

Definition of Newton

A newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. One newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
