What are Poundal and Centimeter

Definition of Poundal

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.

Definition of Centimeter

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.
