What are Poundal and Micronewton

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, primarily used in engineering and physics. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to a speed of one foot per second squared. Originally conceived to simplify the use of British imperial units, the poundal offers a convenient and consistent means of expressing force without resorting to the metric system. Engineers and scientists often prefer the poundal when working within systems that utilize feet, pounds, and seconds, ensuring coherence and reducing conversion errors.

Definition of Micronewton

A micronewton is a unit of force within the International System of Units (SI), representing one-millionth of a newton. The newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, measures force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass by one meter per second squared. In scientific and engineering applications where precision is crucial, the micronewton offers a convenient measure. It is particularly useful in fields like microengineering, where forces are minimal, and exact measurements are vital. By utilizing micronewtons, professionals can maintain accuracy in calculations and experiments involving small-scale forces.
