About these units
Lepton (Biblical Roman) (lepton)
The lepton, one of the smallest denominations used in Judea under Roman rule, weighed roughly 0.1–0.2 grams. It is best known from the biblical story of the Widow's Mite, representing humility and sacrificial giving. As both a coin and a mass, the lepton represents the minimal economic unit of the ancient Near East.
Poundal (pdl)
The poundal is the unit of force in the foot–pound–second (FPS) system, defined as the force that accelerates a one-pound mass at one foot per second squared. Although a force unit, it interacts with mass units in engineering contexts similarly to inertial mass units. Historically, poundals appeared in older physics textbooks and engineering references before the widespread adoption of SI units. Their use has declined dramatically, but they remain part of the history of classical mechanics education. The poundal exemplifies how many different systems attempted to rationalize force, mass, and acceleration before the international community converged on the SI newton.
