A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, often used in the field of engineering. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. One poundal is equal to 1/32.17405 of a pound-force, illustrating its reliance on the gravitational constant for definition.
Definition of KsiThe Ksi is a unit of pressure or stress. It stands for kilopound per square inch, where one Ksi is equivalent to a thousand pounds-force per square inch. This unit is commonly used in materials engineering, particularly when discussing the tensile and yield strength of metals or composites, providing a measure of how much stress these materials can withstand before deformation.
