Convert Dyne centimetres to Poundal feet
Convert Dyne centimetres (dyn·cm) to Poundal feet (pdl·ft) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pdl·ft = dyn·cm × 2.373036040e-6
About Dyne centimetres
The dyne centimetre (dyn·cm) is the CGS unit of torque, equal to 10⁻⁷ N·m. It represents 1 dyne of force applied at 1 cm from the axis. MEMS micro-actuator friction, watch escapement detent torques, and laboratory torsion-pendulum experiments are measured in dyn·cm. Pre-SI physics literature and precision galvanometer calibration reports used this unit. 1 dyn·cm = 10⁻⁷ N·m = 0.01 gf·mm = 0.001 gf·cm.
About Poundal feet
The poundal foot (pdl·ft) equals ≈ 0.04214 N·m, the torque unit of the absolute foot-pound-second system, where force is in poundals (1 pdl = 1 lb·ft/s²) rather than pound-force. It appeared in pre-SI British and American engineering texts and NACA aerodynamic stability reports alongside slug inertia values. 1 pdl·ft = 0.45359237 × 0.3048² N·m ≈ 0.04214 N·m ≈ 0.3730 lbf·in.
