What are Atmosphere and Poundal

Definition of Atmosphere

The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (pascals). It represents the mean sea level atmospheric pressure on Earth, serving as a reference point for various scientific and engineering applications. This unit simplifies the comparison of pressure settings in different environments by providing a baseline measurement.

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, commonly used in the United States. One poundal is equivalent to the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared. It translates physical concepts into practical measurements, aiding in calculations involving motion and force.
