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.
Teranewtons
A teranewton (TN) is 1012 newtons, a very large force typically used to describe large-scale astronomical phenomena or the massive forces involved in planetary activities. It’s not commonly used in everyday applications but is useful for conveying the magnitude of cosmic events.
