Can I directly convert Planck mass to poundal since they measure different quantities?

Direct conversion between Planck mass and poundal involves different physical quantities—mass versus force. It is possible but should be done with awareness of the context and appropriate physics interpretations.

Why is the poundal used in conversions from Planck mass?

Poundal is a unit of force in the FPS system. Converting Planck mass into poundal helps relate quantum gravity mass scales to classical mechanics forces, which is useful for cross-disciplinary analysis.

What is the typical application of converting Planck mass to poundal?

This conversion is primarily used in theoretical physics research connecting quantum gravity with classical mechanics and in historical engineering contexts involving FPS units.
