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 before the widespread adoption of the SI system. It was designed to provide a consistent force unit based on imperial units.
Current Use
Today, the poundal is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of historical or specialized engineering contexts. It is mainly referenced for educational purposes or in discussions of imperial units, with the SI unit of force (newton) being the standard.
Gigagram
A gigagram (Gg) is a unit of mass equal to one billion grams or one million kilograms.
History/Origin
The gigagram is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century as measurements for large quantities expanded.
Current Use
Gigagrams are used in fields such as engineering, environmental science, and industry to quantify large masses, including biomass, emissions, and bulk materials.
