What are Poundal and Decipascal

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units, part of the British Imperial System. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. One poundal equals to about 0.1382 newtons in the International System of Units (SI).

Definition of Decipascal

A decipascal is a subunit of the pascal, which is the SI unit for pressure. It is equivalent to one-tenth of a pascal. This measure is often used in fields where fine gradations of pressure are necessary to observe, such as in meteorology or material science, to precisely gauge low-pressure differences.
