Discover the ease of converting poundals to short tons using Newtum's precise 'pdl to ton' tool, designed to satisfy all your conversion needs at a glance.
A poundal is a unit of force in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, predominantly used in the United States. One poundal is defined as the force necessary to accelerate one pound-mass to one foot per second squared. It is a derivative unit that links mass, length, and time, providing a measure of force distinct from the more commonly known Newton in the International System of Units (SI).
Definition of Ton-shortA short ton, also known as a US ton, is a unit of weight primarily used in the United States. It is equivalent to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.185 kilograms. The short ton is commonly used in industries such as shipping, mining, and agriculture to measure large quantities of materials, and it differs from the long ton (used in the UK) and the metric ton (tonne).
