What are Pound-force Square Second per Foot and Poundal

Definition of Pound-force Square Second per Foot

Pound-force square second per foot (lbf·s²/ft) is a unit of impedance in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system. This unit represents the proportionality between force and acceleration, expressing how many pounds of force are required to accelerate a mass over a distance of one foot within a square second.

Definition of Poundal

A Poundal (pdl) is a unit of force within the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system. It represents the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per square second. The poundal is derived from the basic FPS units, making it a coherent derived unit in this system.
