What are Poundal and Hectogram

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, predominantly used in the United States. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. This unit symbolizes how force, mass, and acceleration interact according to Newton's second law of motion.

Definition of Hectogram

A hectogram is a metric unit of mass, equivalent to one hundred grams. It is not commonly used in everyday scenarios but serves as a practical unit of measure in fields like chemistry and grocery where intermediate weights are necessary. The hectogram helps bridge the gap between the gram and the kilogram, providing a moderate scale for mass.
