About these units
Poundal (pdl)
The poundal is the unit of force in the foot–pound–second (FPS) system, defined as the force that accelerates a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared. Although a force unit, it interacts with mass units in engineering contexts similarly to inertial mass units. Historically, poundals appeared in older physics textbooks and engineering references before the widespread adoption of SI units. Their use has declined dramatically, but they remain part of the history of classical mechanics education. The poundal exemplifies how many different systems attempted to rationalize force, mass, and acceleration before the international community converged on the SI newton.
Attogram (ag)
An attogram is 10⁻¹⁸ grams, an incredibly small mass used only in advanced scientific settings. At this scale, we are dealing with masses comparable to large molecules, viruses, or clusters of atoms. Modern techniques such as atomic force microscopy, mass spectrometry, and nanoscale resonators allow detection of attogram-level changes. Researchers studying chemical reactions, nanotechnology, and molecular biology may use attograms when describing ultra-fine mass differences. The attogram is an example of scientific progress: a unit unnecessary in the past, but now essential for understanding the smallest measurable interactions in nature.
