What is a pound-force square second per foot?

It is an imperial unit of mass that equals the mass accelerating at 1 ft/s² under a force of 1 pound-force. It is identical to the slug unit.

What does a dalton measure?

A dalton is an atomic mass unit equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, commonly used to express atomic and molecular masses.

Why convert pound-force square second/foot to dalton?

To translate macroscopic mechanical mass values into atomic-scale mass units, enabling integration of classical mechanics with molecular and atomic mass data.
