What are Kilogram-force Square Second meter and Poundal

A Kilogram-force Square Second meter (kgf·m²/s²) is a unit of moment of inertia in the Gravitational Metric System, expressing how the mass is distributed in relation to an axis of rotation. One kgf·m²/s² equals the moment of inertia of a mass of one kilogram rotating at a radius of one meter with a force of one kilogram-force.

A poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, primarily used in the United States. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. One poundal is equivalent to approximately 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI).

History of Kilogram-force Square Second meter and Poundal
