Understanding Force Conversion
What is a Newton?
The newton (N) is the SI unit of force. One newton is the force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 meter per second squared. It's named after physicist Sir Isaac Newton.
What is a Poundal?
A poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second system. One poundal is the force that accelerates 1 pound mass at 1 foot per second squared.
Conversion Formula
To convert from newtons to poundals, multiply the force value by 7.233014:
Poundals = Newtons × 7.233014
