What are Poundal and Kilogram-force

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the British Imperial System of Units. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Hence, 1 poundal equates to approximately 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI).

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force, or kilopond, is a non-SI unit of force. It represents the gravitational force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. One kilogram-force equals 9.80665 Newtons, the standard acceleration due to gravity.
