What are Poundal and Pound-force

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, which is a part of the English Engineering units. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Hence, one poundal is equal to 1 lb·ft/s². It is not part of the International System of Units (SI) and is less commonly used than the Newton, the SI unit of force.

Pound-force is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, which is commonly used in the United States. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to the standard acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface, which is 32.17405 feet per second squared. Therefore, one pound-force is equivalent to 32.17405 lb·ft/s² and is often used in engineering and mechanical applications.

History of Poundal and Pound-force

The Poundal Foot to Pound-force Inch Converter is a tool that has evolved with the need for precision in engineering and science. The history of this conversion stems from the use of the poundal, rooted in the British Gravitational System, and the pound-force, a part of the English Engineering units. These units became vital in mechanical calculations, leading to the development of this converter.
