What are Poundal and Newton

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 required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Therefore, one poundal equates to approximately 0.138255 N in the International System of Units (SI).

A Newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. In other words, one Newton is equivalent to 1 kg·m/s². This unit is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work in classical mechanics.
