	Pound (mass) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The troy pound is a unit of mass equalling exactly 0.3732417216 kilogram (or 373.2417216 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.
		Over time, the various keepers of the standards redefined pounds in terms of the metric system (which has happened in case of the avoirdupois and troy pounds as well as the metric pounds), they were defined in terms of the kilogram, not the dyne or the newton.

	physics - Pound
		In many countries that use the SI or metric system, the pound (or its translation, for example, the German Pfund, the French livre, or the Dutch pond) 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, in which the pound force is a unit of force equal to 4.448 newtons.
		Although the U.S. National Bureau of Standards[2] has defined the pound as a unit of mass, and the pound-force as a unit of force, this distinction is not widely recognized among working physicists, because the fps system has not been used in physics, even in the U.S., since the early 20th century.
