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 \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The pond is rarely used today, having been replaced by the newton, but it may still appear in older scientific literature or certain niche applications.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).

Ton-Force (Short)

The short ton-force is a unit of force based on the short ton, primarily used in the United States.

A short ton equals 2,000 pounds (lbs).
The short ton-force is the force exerted by one short ton mass under standard gravity.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ short ton-force} = 2,000 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 8,896.44 \text{ newtons}

It is used in industries like engineering and construction where forces related to short tons are relevant.
Note: This differs from the metric ton-force (tf) and long ton-force used in other systems.
