Discover the ease of converting poundals to pounds with Newtum's intuitive 'Pdl to Lb Converter'. This tool simplifies measurements for scientists and engineers, sparking curiosity to explore more.
A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the British Engineering System. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Essentially, it's the force aspect within this particular system of measurement.
Definition of PoundThe pound, as a unit of weight or mass, is widely used in the United States customary and other systems of measurement. It is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. A pound is a fundamental physical unit used in commerce, science, and many areas of everyday life.
| Poundal (pdl) | Pound (lb) |
|---|---|
| 1 pdl | 0.03108 lb |
| 10 pdl | 0.3108 lb |
| 20 pdl | 0.6217 lb |
| 30 pdl | 0.9325 lb |
| 40 pdl | 1.2434 lb |
| 50 pdl | 1.5542 lb |
| 60 pdl | 1.865 lb |
| 70 pdl | 2.1759 lb |
| 80 pdl | 2.4867 lb |
| 90 pdl | 2.7976 lb |
| 100 pdl | 3.1084 lb |
1 pdl = 0.03108 lb
1 lb = 32.174 pdl
Example 1:
convert 10 pdl to lb:
10 pdl = 10 × 0.03108 lb = 0.3108 lb
Example 2:
convert 50 pdl to lb:
50 pdl = 50 × 0.03108 lb = 1.554 lb
The 'Poundal to Pound Converter' is rooted in historical measures of force and mass. Developed during the 19th century, the poundal was part of the foot-pound-second system, an alternative to the metric system. This converter bridges the two by translating poundals into the more commonly used pounds, allowing for a seamless transition between systems in both scientific and practical contexts.
Unveiling the practicality of the 'Poundal to Pound Converter', a tool that transforms theoretical physics into tangible applications.
Example 1:
Convert 15 poundals to pounds:
15 pdl = 15 × 0.03108 lb = 0.4662 lb
Example 2:
Convert 25 poundals to pounds:
25 pdl = 25 × 0.03108 lb = 0.777 lb
