Pond [p]


The pond is a historical unit of force, equivalent to the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one gram.



  • It is part of the gram-force system and was widely used before the adoption of the newton in the SI system.



  • Mathematically:



1 pond=1 gramร—9.80665 m/s2=0.00980665 newtons1 \text{ pond} = 1 \text{ gram} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 0.00980665 \text{ 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  • The pond is rarely used today, having been replaced by the newton, but it may still appear in older scientific literature or certain niche applications.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).




Centinewton [cN]


Centinewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 centinewton (cN) equals 10โˆ’210^{-2} newtons (0.01 newton).



  • It is used to measure very small forces, useful in precision engineering, material testing, and small-scale physics experiments.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 cN=0.01 N1 \text{ cN} = 0.01 \text{ N}

Centinewtons allow convenient expression of forces smaller than decinewtons but larger than millinewtons.
