What are Joule-centimeter and Poundal

Definition of Joule-centimeter

A Joule-centimeter is a unit of energy commonly used in physics and engineering. It represents the amount of work done when a force of one joule is applied over a distance of one centimeter. Essentially, it combines the metric units of joules, a measure of energy, and centimeters, a measure of distance. This unit is particularly useful in scenarios where precise energy measurements over short distances are required, offering a convenient metric for various scientific calculations.

Definition of Poundal

A Poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. This unit is primarily used in the United States and is part of the traditional English engineering system. The poundal provides a measure for force in contexts where the FPS system is preferred, making it a valuable unit for engineering and physics calculations in those regions.
