Piconewton [pN]
Piconewton is a very tiny unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).
1 piconewton (pN) equals 10โ12 newtons (0.000000000001 newton).
It is commonly used in molecular biology, biophysics, and nanotechnology to measure forces at the molecular or atomic scale.
To put it in perspective:
1 pN=0.000000000001 N
Piconewtons allow scientists to quantify incredibly small forces, such as those involved in DNA stretching or molecular interactions.
Pond [p]
The pond is a historical unit of force, equivalent to the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one gram.
1 pond=1 gramร9.80665 m/s2=0.00980665 newtons
In other words, 1 pond is approximately 0.00981 newtons.
The pond is rarely used today, having been replaced by the newton, but it may still appear in older scientific literature or certain niche applications.
It is similar in concept to the gram-force (gf).
