What are Ounce and Pound-force

An ounce, abbreviated as 'oz', is a unit of weight commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is equal to one-sixteenth of a pound avoirdupois, approximately 28.35 grams. The ounce is a part of the imperial and the customary systems of measurement and is primarily used in the United States to measure packaged food products, food portions, and postal items, among other things.

A pound-force, abbreviated as 'lbf', is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units, used predominantly in the United States. One pound-force is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one avoirdupois pound at a rate of one foot per second squared. It is equivalent to 4.4482216 newtons in the International System of Units (SI). The pound-force is an important unit in engineering and physics, describing the force exerted by gravity on a pound-mass object.
