  2. Foot–pound–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footpound–second...

    The electrostatic and electromagnetic systems are derived from units of length and force, mainly. As such, these are ready extensions of any system of containing length, mass, time. Stephen Dresner [7] gives the derived electrostatic and electromagnetic units in both the footpound–second and foot–slug–second systems. In practice, these ...

  3. Poundal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poundal

    Since a pound of force (pound force) accelerates a pound of mass at 32.174 049 ft/s 2 (9.80665 m/s 2; the acceleration of gravity, g), we can scale down the unit of force to compensate, giving us one that accelerates 1 pound mass at 1 ft/s 2 rather than at 32.174 049 ft/s 2; and that is the poundal, which is approximately 1 ⁄ 32 pound force.

  4. Slug (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(unit)

    One slug is a mass equal to 32.17405 lb (14.59390 kg) based on standard gravity, the international foot, and the avoirdupois pound. [3] In other words, at the Earth's surface (in standard gravity), an object with a mass of 1 slug weighs approximately 32.17405 lbf or 143.1173 N. [ 4 ] [ 5 ]

  5. Mass flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_rate

    The area required to calculate the mass flow rate is real or imaginary, flat or curved, either as a cross-sectional area or a surface, e.g. for substances passing through a filter or a membrane, the real surface is the (generally curved) surface area of the filter, macroscopically - ignoring the area spanned by the holes in the filter/membrane ...

  6. Pound (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(force)

    This is convenient because one pound mass exerts one pound force due to gravity. Note, however, unlike the other systems the force unit is not equal to the mass unit multiplied by the acceleration unit [ 11 ] —the use of Newton's second law , F = m ⋅ a , requires another factor, g c , usually taken to be 32.174049 (lb⋅ft)/(lbf⋅s 2 ).

  7. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.

  9. Foot-poundal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-poundal

    The foot-poundal (symbol: ft-pdl) is a unit of energy, introduced in 1879, that is part of the Absolute English system of units, which itself is a coherent subsystem of the footpound–second system. [1] The foot-poundal is equal to 1/32.174049 that of the more commonly used foot-pound force.
