What are Pond and Gram-force

A Pond, also known as a pondus, is a unit of force that was historically used in various countries prior to the adoption of the Newton. One pond is roughly equivalent to the force exerted by a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity (approximately 9.80665 newtons). Although now largely obsolete, the pond was commonly used in engineering and scientific calculations. It is still referenced in some historical contexts and niche applications. Understanding the pond is crucial for converting older data and documents to modern units of measurement.

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by one gram of mass in Earth's standard gravitational field. Specifically, one gram-force is equal to 0.00980665 Newtons. This unit is often used in engineering and physics to measure small forces, such as those encountered in laboratory settings or in the calibration of sensitive instrumentation. Despite the widespread adoption of the Newton in the International System of Units (SI), gram-force remains useful for specific applications requiring high precision and ease of understanding.
