About These Units
Poundal (pdl)
A poundal (pdl) is the FPS unit of force equal to 0.138 newtons—the force needed to accelerate 1 pound by 1 ft/s². Poundals avoid confusion between pound-mass and pound-force. Rarely used today; appears in older physics textbooks.
Dyne (dyn)
A dyne is the CGS unit of force equal to 10⁻⁵ newtons—the force needed to accelerate 1 gram by 1 cm/s². Dynes appear in older scientific literature and surface tension measurements. One newton equals 100,000 dynes.
