A poundal is a unit of force in the foot–pound–second system defined as the force that causes a 1 pound mass to accelerate at 1 foot per second squared.

What does deuteron mass represent?

Deuteron mass is the rest mass of the deuteron nucleus, consisting of one proton and one neutron, used in nuclear physics and precision mass measurements.

Why convert from poundal to deuteron mass?

This conversion helps relate FPS force measurements to nuclear-scale mass units for cross-disciplinary calculations in mechanics and nuclear physics.
