1 Poundal = 0.1382549544 Newtons
A Newton (SI) or a poundal (conventional).
A Newton (SI) or a poundal (conventional).
The SI unit is a Newton. The old US unit is the pound-force or the poundal.
A newton is the SI unit of force, a pound is a measure of weight or force in Imperial measure where the equivalent of "newton" is "poundal", the unit of force necessary to accelerate 1 pound-mass to 1 foot per second per second.
The gram. Also in use in the English (US) System is the pound.*for weight or force exerted by these masses due to gravity the Newton or the Poundal is used to differentiate mass and weight. {Though at the surface of the earth the mass and weight are indistinguishable.}
It is best expressed by Newton's second law: Force = Mass x acceleration. Thus a force of 1 Newton produces an acceleration of 1 m/sec per second on a mass of 1 kg. A force of 1 poundal produces an acceleration of 1 ft/sec per second on a mass of 1 pound.
