The pound or pound-mass is a unit of mass used in both the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement.Various definitions have been used; the most common today is the international avoirdupois pound, which is legally defined as exactly 0.453 592 37 kilograms, and which is divided into 16 avoirdupois ounces.

Libra (pound), a unit of weight equivalent to 16 onzas. Quintal, a unit of weight equivalent to 100 Libras. Arroba, the fourth part of a quintal; Units of volume Almud, a unit of volume. Celemín, a unit of volume equivalent to approximately 4.625 L. Fanega, measure of grain by volume
1 caja = 16 kg 1 quintal = 100 libras [c] ≈ 46 kg ≈ 101.4 lbs [3] 1 carga [d] = 2 quintals ≈ 200 lbs ≈ 90.72 kg [5] Volume.
Among the Guatemalan units of measurement some are based on old Spanish units; they include the vara and cuadra linear measurements; the vara cuadrada, the manzana and the cuerda units of area; and the libra, arroba, quintal and garrafón units of weight and volume.
N = kg m/s 2; Pa = N/m 2 = kg/(m s) J = N m = kg m 2 /s 2; W = J/s = N m/s = kg m 2 /s 3; Furthermore, prior to the revision the SI base unit of electric current, the ampere (A), was defined as the current needed to produce a force of 0.2 μN between 2 parallel wires 1 m apart for every metre of length. Substituting these parameters into ...
A kip is a US customary unit of force.It equals 1000 pounds-force, and is used primarily by structural engineers to indicate forces where the value represented in pound-force is inefficient.
Several of the unit names were also the names of coins during the Roman Republic and had the same fractional value of a larger base unit: libra for weight and as for coin. Modern estimates of the libra range from 322 to 329 g (11.4 to 11.6 oz) with 5076 grains or 328.9 g (11.60 oz) an accepted figure.
