What are Dekanewton and Poundal

Definition of Dekanewton

A Dekanewton (daN) is a unit of force in the metric system, representing ten newtons. It is commonly used to measure medium-range forces, providing a convenient scale for various engineering and physics applications. One newton is the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, a Dekanewton is essentially ten times this amount, offering a more manageable figure when dealing with larger forces in practical scenarios.

Definition of Poundal

A Poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, equivalent to the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. Although less commonly used today, the Poundal historically played a crucial role in engineering and physics calculations in regions where the FPS system was prevalent. Understanding the Poundal helps bridge the gap between different measurement systems, enriching comprehension of force dynamics.
