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.
Drachma (Biblical Greek)
The drachma was an ancient Greek unit of weight and currency, used in biblical times as a standard measure for silver and other precious metals.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Greece, the drachma was widely used throughout the Greek city-states and later adopted in various regions. It served both as a monetary unit and a weight measure, with its use dating back to at least the 5th century BCE. The biblical Greek drachma is referenced in historical texts and scriptures, reflecting its significance in trade and economy during that era.
Current Use
Today, the drachma is no longer in official use, having been replaced by the euro in Greece. However, it remains a historical and cultural reference, especially in biblical studies and historical research related to ancient Greek economy and currency systems.
