What are Poundal and Gram-force

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. The poundal is based on the pound for mass and the foot for distance, emphasizing its roots in the imperial system of measurement.

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force is a unit of force not recognized within the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a one-gram mass. Essentially, it is the gravitational force acting on a mass of one gram at the surface of the Earth, which equates to the standard acceleration due to gravity.
