An ounce is a unit of weight commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is one-sixteenth of a pound avoirdupois, approximately 28.35 grams. The ounce is a versatile unit, utilized in various contexts such as measuring food, postal items, and boxing gloves weight.
Definition of PoundalA poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, primarily used in some scientific contexts. One poundal is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass at the rate of one foot per second squared. It is equivalent to approximately 1/32.2 of a pound-force.
| Ounce (oz) | Poundal (pdl) |
|---|---|
| 1 oz | 32 pdl |
| 2 oz | 64 pdl |
| 3 oz | 96 pdl |
| 4 oz | 128 pdl |
| 5 oz | 160 pdl |
| 6 oz | 192 pdl |
| 7 oz | 224 pdl |
| 8 oz | 256 pdl |
| 9 oz | 288 pdl |
| 10 oz | 320 pdl |
1 oz = 32 pdl
1 pdl = 1/32 oz
Example 1:
Convert 5 oz to pdl:
5 oz = 5 × 32 pdl = 160 pdl
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 oz to pdl:
2.5 oz = 2.5 × 32 pdl = 80 pdl
The Ounce to Poundal Converter has a practical origin, stemming from the need to bridge traditional weight units with the scientific force unit of poundals. This tool reflects the evolution of measurement systems and their adaptation to diverse fields of study and industry.
Explore the practicality of the Ounce to Poundal Converter in real-world scenarios where precision in measurement conversion is key.
Example 1: To convert 10 ounces to poundals, the calculation would be 10 oz * 32 pdl/oz = 320 pdl.
Example 2: Converting 15 ounces to poundals results in 15 oz * 32 pdl/oz = 480 pdl.
