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.
Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
