Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
The poundal was introduced in the 19th century as part of the FPS system of units, primarily used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system. It was designed to provide a consistent force unit based on imperial units.
Current Use
Today, the poundal is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of historical or specialized engineering contexts. It is mainly referenced for educational purposes or in discussions of imperial units, with the SI unit of force (newton) being the standard.
Didrachma (Biblical Greek)
The didrachma was an ancient Greek unit of weight and currency, equivalent to two drachmas, used in biblical and classical Greek contexts.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Greece, the didrachma was widely used as a standard coin and weight measure during the classical period, especially in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. It played a significant role in trade and economic transactions in the Greek world and is referenced in biblical texts as a monetary unit.
Current Use
