Pound (Troy Or Apothecary)
A pound (troy or apothecary) is a unit of weight used primarily for precious metals and gemstones, equivalent to 12 ounces or approximately 373 grams.
History/Origin
The troy pound originated in the medieval French town of Troyes, historically used in the trade of precious metals and gemstones. The apothecary pound was used in pharmacy for weighing medicines and ingredients. Both units have roots in medieval European systems of measurement.
Current Use
The troy pound is still used in the precious metals industry, especially for gold, silver, and gemstones. The apothecary pound is largely obsolete but may still be referenced in historical contexts or traditional practices.
Pound-Force Square Second/foot
A unit of dynamic force-time product, representing pound-force multiplied by seconds squared per foot, used in engineering contexts to measure force-related quantities over time and distance.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the British imperial system, combining the pound-force with a time squared and length unit to quantify specific force-time interactions, primarily in mechanical and structural engineering applications.
Current Use
Currently, the unit is rarely used in modern engineering, but it may appear in specialized calculations involving force, time, and distance in legacy systems or theoretical analyses within the imperial measurement framework.
