What are Poundal and Ton-force

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one pound at a rate of one foot per second squared. The poundal is derived from the basic FPS units and is a measure of force distinct from the pound-force, which is based on gravitational acceleration.

A ton-force, specifically a long ton-force, is a unit of force that is commonly used in the UK and other countries that utilize the Imperial system of measurement. It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of one long ton (2,240 pounds) under the acceleration due to gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). A ton-force takes into account the gravitational pull exerted on a mass, measuring the force produced as a result.

History of Poundal and Ton-force

The conversion between poundal square foot and ton-force long square foot has its roots in the transition from the Imperial system to more universally accepted units like the metric system. This tool aids in bridging the gap between these units, providing historical context in the realm of engineering and physics.
