Understanding Force Conversion
What is a Poundal (pdl)?
A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second system. It's defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of one pound at a rate of one foot per second squared (1 pdl = 1 lb⋅ft/s²).
What is a Newton (N)?
A newton is the SI unit of force. It's defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²).
