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.
Shekel (Biblical Hebrew)
The shekel (Biblical Hebrew) is an ancient unit of weight and currency used in biblical times, primarily for measuring silver and other precious metals.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Mesopotamia, the shekel was used as a standard weight and currency in the ancient Near East, notably in biblical Israel. Its weight varied over time and region, but it generally represented a specific mass used for trade and taxation.
Current Use
Today, the shekel is the official currency of Israel (Israeli New Shekel), but the biblical shekel as a unit of weight is no longer in use. The term is primarily historical and religious in context.
