What are Poundal and Ton

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the system of Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) units, also known as the British Engineering System. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second per second. Essentially, it measures the force exerted and is part of the Imperial units system. One poundal is equivalent to approximately 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI).

Definition of Ton

A ton, specifically a 'short ton' in the United States, is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds. It is commonly used in the United States and Canada. The 'long ton', used in the United Kingdom, is equivalent to 2,240 pounds. Additionally, there is the 'metric ton' or 'tonne', which is equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds. The ton is a versatile unit and is widely used in various industries, including shipping, mining, and logistics.
