Discover the ease of converting poundals to Planck masses with our intuitive pdl to m_P converter, meticulously crafted by Newtum for precise calculations that pique your curiosity.
A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, primarily used in the United Kingdom and the United States. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. This unit of measure takes its name from the combination of 'pound' and 'acceleration' to represent force.
Definition of Planck MassThe Planck mass, denoted as m_P, is the unit of mass in the system of natural units known as Planck units. It is a fundamental scale in quantum gravity and is approximately 2.176 x 10^-8 kilograms. The Planck mass is uniquely derived from three fundamental physical constants: the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and the reduced Planck constant.
| Poundal (pdl) | Planck Mass (m_P) |
|---|---|
| 1 pdl | 5.027 x 10^34 m_P |
| 2 pdl | 1.005 x 10^35 m_P |
| 3 pdl | 1.508 x 10^35 m_P |
| 4 pdl | 2.011 x 10^35 m_P |
| 5 pdl | 2.514 x 10^35 m_P |
| 6 pdl | 3.016 x 10^35 m_P |
| 7 pdl | 3.519 x 10^35 m_P |
| 8 pdl | 4.022 x 10^35 m_P |
| 9 pdl | 4.525 x 10^35 m_P |
| 10 pdl | 5.027 x 10^35 m_P |
1 pdl = 5.027 x 10^34 m_P
1 m_P = 1.989 x 10^-35 pdl
Example 1:
convert 2 pdl to m_P:
2 pdl = 2 x 5.027 x 10^34 m_P = 1.005 x 10^35 m_P
Example 2:
convert 7 pdl to m_P:
7 pdl = 7 x 5.027 x 10^34 m_P = 3.519 x 10^35 m_P
The Poundal to Planck Mass Converter is rooted in the transition from classical mechanics to quantum gravity. While the poundal has been used since the late 1800s in the FPS system, the Planck mass concept emerged in the early 20th century, inspired by Max Planck's work on quantum theory. This converter represents a bridge between two vastly different scales of physics.

Example 1:
Converting 3 pdl to m_P yields:
3 pdl = 3 x 5.027 x 10^34 m_P = 1.508 x 10^35 m_P
Example 2:
Converting 6 pdl to m_P yields:
6 pdl = 6 x 5.027 x 10^34 m_P = 3.016 x 10^35 m_P
What is a poundal?
A poundal is a unit of force in the FPS system, specifically the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared.
How does the Poundal to Planck Mass Converter work?
Enter the value in poundals and the converter will automatically calculate the equivalent Planck mass.
Can I convert Planck mass back to poundals?
Yes, the converter can also reverse the conversion from Planck mass to poundals.
