What is neutron mass?

The neutron mass is the intrinsic rest mass of a free neutron, used as a fundamental constant in nuclear and particle physics.

What does the poundal measure?

The poundal is a unit of force in the foot–pound–second system, defined as the force that accelerates a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared.

Why convert neutron mass to poundal?

This conversion assists in integrating particle mass data into classical FPS system calculations, especially in interdisciplinary research.
