Unit Story
Pound-force
Pound-force is the push or pull associated with a pound under standard gravity. It is common in hardware, pressure, thrust, and engineering specs where force must be separate from mass.
Newton
A newton measures push or pull. One small apple weighs about one newton on Earth, which makes the unit less abstract than the formula suggests.
