OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

That's the USA, they refuse to leave the imperial system which is annoying. The international system of units says pound is a unit of force. 1 pound = 4.41 newtons

Again that's the mass version of the pound you showed. Don't follow the USA, they did nothing to contribute to the international system of units!
