Converting from Meter-Gram Force (m g) to Foot-Poundal (ft pdl)

What is Meter-Gram Force (m g)

Meter-Gram Force (m g) is a unit of torque in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system. It is defined as the force exerted by one gram mass at a distance of one meter from the axis of rotation.

What is Foot-Poundal (ft pdl)

Foot-Poundal (ft pdl) is a unit of torque in the FPS (foot-pound-second) system. It is defined as the force required to accelerate one pound mass at one foot per second squared.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Meter-Gram Force (m g) to Foot-Poundal (ft pdl), you can use the following formulas:
