The non-metric equivalent of Newtons is "pounds(force)", to be
distinguished from "pounds(mass)", which correspond to Kilograms. To
make things as confusing as possible, people seldom do distinguish
"pounds(force)" from "pounds(mass)" - the main exception being engineers
who have to work in those units.

There's other options available:
There's an obscure unit called the poundal, which is the amount of force
required to accelerate a mass of one pound at the rate of 1.0
(ft/sec^2). It's equal to 1/32.174049 pounds(force).
There's another obscure unit called the slug, which is the amount of
mass that requires one pound of force to accelerate it at a rate of 1.0
(ft/sec^2). It's equal to 32.174049 pounds(mass).

All of the standard physics formulas familiar to those trained using
metric units can be used unchanged if you consistently use poundals for
force, and pounds for mass. They can also be used unchanged if you use
pounds for force, and slugs for mass. In principle, you could get into a
big mess by trying to use both conventions in different parts of the
same calculation. However, I've never met anyone who seriously uses
either system, so I have no idea how often the temptation comes up to
use both of them at once.
