What are Poundal and Therm

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, commonly used in the United States. It represents the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Being a derived unit, it incorporates the basic units of mass (pound), length (foot), and time (second).

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the energy sector, particularly in natural gas industries in regions like the United States and United Kingdom. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU) and is traditionally used for billing and comparing energy usage.
