What are Pound and Pound-force

Definition of Pound

The pound (abbreviated as 'lb') is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customary, and other systems of measurement. Originating from the Roman libra, the pound has been used for centuries in various regions. One pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. It is widely used in countries like the United States, where it serves as the standard unit for measuring body weight, groceries, and other items.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force in the British engineering system and is used to quantify the amount of force exerted. One pound-force is equivalent to the gravitational force exerted on a mass of one pound on the surface of the Earth. It is defined as exactly 4.44822 newtons. Pound-force is often used in engineering and physics to measure forces and loads in various applications, including mechanical design and structural analysis.
