Units for other physical quantities are derived from this set as needed. In English Engineering Units, the pound-mass and the pound-force are distinct base units, and Newton's Second Law of Motion takes the form = where is the acceleration in ft/s 2 and g c = 32.174 lb·ft/(lbf·s 2).
A number of units were used. One libra (lit. "pound") was equal to 0.460 246 34 kg as it was legally defined. [1] Some other units and legal equivalents are given below: 1 tomin = 1 ⁄ 768 libra

Butter may be measured by either weight (1 ⁄ 4 lb) or volume (3 tbsp) or a combination of weight and volume (1 ⁄ 4 lb plus 3 tbsp); it is sold by weight but in packages marked to facilitate common divisions by eye. (As a sub-packaged unit, a stick of butter, at 1 ⁄ 4 lb [113 g], is a de facto measure in the US.)
