A poundal is the force required to accelerate a mass of one pound at one foot per second squared. It equals approximately 0.138255 newtons.
Multiply by 0.138255. For example, 32 pdl = 4.4242 N.
Poundals belong to the foot-pound-second (FPS) absolute system. They appear mainly in older British engineering texts and some physics education contexts.
A pound-force is the gravitational force on one pound of mass (about 4.448 N), while a poundal is much smaller at 0.138255 N. One pound-force equals approximately 32.174 poundals.
