About these units

Poundals

A poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, equal to about 0.138 newtons. It is used in some engineering and physics applications to measure force in non-SI units.

Centinewtons

A centinewton (cN) is 0.01 newtons, making it useful for expressing very small forces. It might be used in situations involving micro-robotics or precision instruments where delicate forces are applied.
