What are Poundal and Inch

A poundal is a unit of force within the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, also known as the British Engineering System. It represents the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Precisely, one poundal is equivalent to 1/32.17405 lbf or approximately 0.1382550 newtons in the International System of Units (SI).

An inch is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot or 1/36 of a yard. According to the modern standard, an inch is exactly 25.4 millimeters in the metric system. It is widely used in various fields such as construction, electronics, and automotive industries for measurements.

History of Poundal and Inch
