Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
The poundal was introduced in the 19th century as part of the FPS system of units, primarily used in engineering and physics in the United States before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the poundal is largely obsolete and rarely used, having been replaced by the SI unit newton; however, it may still be referenced in historical contexts or specialized engineering fields.
Dyne
A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.
History/Origin
The dyne was introduced as part of the CGS system of units in the late 19th century, serving as a smaller force unit compared to the Newton, to facilitate calculations in physics and engineering involving small forces.
Current Use
The dyne is primarily used in theoretical physics and certain specialized scientific fields; however, it has largely been replaced by the Newton in most practical applications and international standards.
