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 necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. The poundal is derived from the basic FPS units and is not as widely used as the Newton in the International System of Units (SI).

The Newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. One Newton is the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. The Newton is widely used in physics and engineering to express forces.

History of Poundal and Newton

The Poundal square Foot to Newton square Millimeter Converter has its roots in the transition from the Imperial system to the International System of Units. It was developed to provide a convenient way to convert between these two units of force, catering to fields like engineering and physics where precise measurements are crucial.
