Talent (Biblical Hebrew)
A biblical Hebrew unit of weight used to measure precious metals and other commodities, roughly equivalent to a shekel but larger in size.
History/Origin
The talent in biblical Hebrew tradition dates back to ancient Israelite times, serving as a standard weight for trade and offerings. Its exact weight varied over time and regions but was generally considered a substantial unit used in religious and commercial contexts.
Current Use
The biblical Hebrew talent is primarily of historical and religious significance today, often referenced in biblical studies and theological contexts. It is not used as a practical measurement unit in modern weight and mass systems.
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.
