Convert kg to poundal
Kilogram
The kilogram-force ( kgf or kg F ), or kilopond ( kp , from Latin: pondus , lit. 'weight'), is a gravitational metric unit of force. It is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted on one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s 2 gravitational field (standard gravity, a conventional value approximating the average magnitude of gravity on Earth). Therefore, one kilogram-force is by definition equal to 9.806 65 N. Similarly, a gram-force is 9.806 65 mN, and a milligram-force is 9.806 65 μN.
Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot–pound–second (FPS) absolute system, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one pound-mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. One poundal is equal to approximately 0.138255 newtons, making it considerably smaller than the pound-force. Unlike the pound-force, the poundal does not depend on the local gravitational acceleration, making it an absolute unit. It was introduced in the 19th century to provide a coherent absolute unit system analogous to the CGS dyne.
