What are Petagram and Poundal

Definition of Petagram

A petagram is a metric unit of mass that is equivalent to one quadrillion (10^15) grams. It's a seldom-used unit as it represents an extremely large mass, typically utilized in scientific contexts where such vast quantities are discussed, like in astrophysics or geosciences for measuring large masses of Earth's atmosphere or celestial bodies.

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the imperial measurement system, defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. It is equivalent to approximately 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI). Poundals are not commonly used today, having been largely replaced by the Newton.

Conversion of Petagram to Poundal

1 Pg = [X] pdl
1 pdl = [Y] Pg

Example 1:
convert 0.5 Pg to pdl:
0.5 Pg = 0.5 × [X] pdl = [Result] pdl

Example 2:
convert 2 Pg to pdl:
2 Pg = 2 × [X] pdl = [Result] pdl

History of Petagram and Poundal

The Petagram to Poundal Converter is a recent innovation, designed to bridge the gap between two vastly different units of measurement. While petagrams measure mass and poundals measure force, this tool was conceptualized to aid scientists and engineers in converting large-scale mass into equivalent force units, which is especially useful in fields such as astrophysics and geophysics.
