About Newton
The newton (N) is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one meter per second squared.
Common uses: physics, engineering, mechanical tests.
About Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force. One poundal equals 0.1382549544 newtons. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other force unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.
Common uses: force calculations, engineering and science, education.
