What are Poundal and Centimeter

The poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. One poundal is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. It is part of a system that balances force, mass, and acceleration units without the need for arbitrary constants.

A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one hundredth of a meter. It constitutes a standard unit for measuring various dimensions such as height, length, and width in fields ranging from everyday measurements to scientific research, providing a convenient scale for objects smaller than a meter.

History of Poundal and Centimeter

The Poundal square Foot to Centimeter Water 4°C Converter stems from the need to reconcile the Imperial system with the Metric system. It facilitates scientists and engineers in converting force per area units, specifically in fields dealing with fluid dynamics and hydrostatic pressure, by offering a straightforward conversion from pdl/ft² to cm H2O.
