	Pound (mass) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pound is the name of a number of units of mass, all in the range of 300 to 600 grams.
		In many countries that use the SI or metric system, the pound (or its translation, for example, the German Pfund, the French livre, the Dutch pond, the Spanish and Portuguese libras, or the Chinese jin) is used as an informal term for half of a kilogram, therefore for this case the pound is 500 grams.
		Pounds are also used for the force definitions of weight, as well as for other forces, in which the pound force is a unit of force equal to 4.448 newtons.

	Weight vs. Mass; What's the Difference?
		The magnitudes of the measurements of mass and force may be the same, within the limits of the precision of the measurement, at some places on earth if the mass is measured in pounds mass and the force is measured in pounds force, for example.
		The pound mass is the older definition of the pound.
		The symbol for the pound force is lbf, and the symbol for the ounce force is ozf.

	Pound : Lb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The pound is the name for at least three different units of mass: the pound (avoirdupois), the troy pound, and the obsolete imperial pound.
		The term pound is also the used for the unit of currency[?] in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Egypt, and, before January 1, 2002, Ireland: see pound (currency).
		The pound, a unit of mass, should not be confused with the pound-force, a unit of force or weight.

	Work, energy, and lifting up (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Note that the work, or energy, required to lift something is its weight ("weight" is the force of its mass times the gravitational accelleration where it's at) times the height through which it is lifted, the force exerted upward being equal in magnitude to its weight.
		Note that this is the same amount of energy which would be given up by the one pound mass if it returns to rest again on the equator.
		In more personal terms, for a 165 pound person to be lifted similarly, the energy added to the person, expresed in electrical power cost terms, would theoretically be $119.
