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.
Quarter (Uk)
A quarter (qr) is a traditional unit of weight used in the UK, typically equal to one-quarter of a hundredweight, or 28 pounds (approximately 12.7 kilograms).
History/Origin
The quarter has historical roots in British measurement systems, originating from the need to divide larger weights into manageable parts. It was commonly used in trade and agriculture before the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
Today, the quarter is largely obsolete in official measurement but may still be used informally in certain industries such as agriculture and livestock to denote weight, especially in the UK.
