Pond
p
Definition
The pond is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. The pond is equal to approximately 0.0098 Newtons.
History/Origin
The pond was introduced as part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units in the 19th century. It was widely used in physics and engineering before the adoption of the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system. The name comes from the Latin word "pondus" meaning weight.
Current Use
Still used in some areas of physics and engineering, particularly in Europe. Common in some engineering applications where the CGS system is still used. Used in some scientific instruments and laboratory equipment that were designed using the CGS system.

Poundal
pdl
Definition
The poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one pound at a rate of one foot per second squared. The poundal is equal to approximately 0.138 Newtons.
History/Origin
The poundal was introduced as part of the FPS (foot-pound-second) system of units in the 19th century. It was widely used in physics and engineering before the adoption of the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system. The name comes from the combination of "pound" and "acceleration".
Current Use
Still used in some areas of physics and engineering, particularly in the United States. Common in some engineering applications where the FPS system is still used. Used in some scientific instruments and laboratory equipment that were designed using the FPS system.
