What are Giganewton and Poundal

Definition of Giganewton

A Giganewton (GN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billion newtons. This massive unit of measurement is often utilized in fields that involve extremely large forces, such as aerospace engineering, astrophysics, and high-energy physics. Given its large magnitude, the Giganewton provides a convenient way to express and work with immense forces that would otherwise involve cumbersome numerical values.

Definition of Poundal

The Poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. Although less commonly used today, the Poundal remains a part of traditional engineering and physics calculations, especially in the contexts where the FPS system is preferred. It provides an alternative to the newton in specific applications and scenarios.
