Poundal

What is a poundal?

The poundal (pdl) is the FPS absolute unit of force; its mass-equivalent on this scale is about 0.0141 kg.

Origin of the poundal

Defined in the foot-pound-second absolute system in the late 19th century.

Where it is used

Early 20th-century physics and engineering.

When and where it was developed

Introduced in the absolute FPS system as an alternative to gravitational units.

Deuteron Mass

What is a deuteron mass?

The deuteron mass is about 3.344E-27 kg.

Origin of the deuteron mass

The mass of the deuteron, the nucleus of deuterium (one proton and one neutron).

Where it is used

Nuclear physics and fusion-energy research.

When and where it was developed

Established with the discovery of deuterium by Harold Urey in 1931.

Poundal to Deuteron Mass conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between poundals and deuteron mass:

1 pdl = 4.213057e+24 md
1 md = 2.373573e-25 pdl

To convert poundals to deuteron mass, multiply the value in poundals by 4.213057e+24. To reverse, multiply deuteron mass by 2.373573e-25.

Step-by-step: convert poundals to deuteron mass

  1. Write down the value in poundals (pdl).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 4.213057e+24.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in deuteron mass (md).
  4. To reverse, multiply the deuteron mass value by 2.373573e-25.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 pdl to md:
1 × 4.213057e+24 = 4.213057e+24 md

Example 2 — Convert 100 pdl to md:
100 × 4.213057e+24 = 4.213057e+26 md

Real-world example — Small-scale to atomic-scale

One poundal equals 10 million deuteron mass — useful for physics curricula that relate everyday measurements to atomic and optical scales.

1 pdl × 4.213057e+24 = 4.213057e+24 md

Real-world example — Centimeter to wavelength scale

One poundal equals 10 million deuteron mass. Physics curricula use this kind of conversion to relate everyday measurements to atomic and optical scales.

1 pdl × 4.213057e+24 = 4.213057e+24 md
