Units explained
Exagram
An exagram (Eg) equals 10^15 kilograms, or one quintillion grams.
From the SI prefix 'exa-' (from Greek 'hex', six, denoting the sixth power of 1000).
Confined to planetary- and atmospheric-scale mass discussions; never used in daily measurement.
The exa- prefix was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1975.
Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is the FPS absolute unit of force; its mass-equivalent on this scale is about 0.0141 kg.
Defined in the foot-pound-second absolute system in the late 19th century.
Early 20th-century physics and engineering.
Introduced in the absolute FPS system as an alternative to gravitational units.
