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 (Us)
A quarter (US) is a unit of weight equal to one-fourth of a pound, commonly used in measuring precious metals and other small quantities.
History/Origin
The quarter originated from the traditional British weight system and was adopted in the United States as a subdivision of the pound. It has historically been used in commerce and trade for precise measurements.
Current Use
Today, the quarter is primarily used in the United States for measuring precious metals, jewelry, and small quantities of certain commodities. It is part of the customary units in the 'Weight and Mass' category within common converters.
