What are Poundal and Megapascal

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, vital in physics. It's defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. The term 'poundal' combines 'pound' and 'acceleration' reflecting its foundational role in measuring force based on mass and acceleration.

Definition of Megapascal

The megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure or stress. It's part of the metric system and is equal to one million pascals, the SI unit of pressure. One MPa represents the pressure exerted by a force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter. This unit is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express tensile and compressive strengths.
