What is a dekanewton?

A dekanewton (daN) is an SI-derived unit of force equal to 10 newtons, often used to express forces in the range of tens of newtons.

What does the pond unit measure?

The pond (p) is an obsolete unit of force equal to one gram-force, representing the force exerted by a one gram mass under standard gravity.

Why convert from dekanewton to pond?

Converting helps compare modern force units with historical data or legacy systems that use the pond, which is important for calibration and analysis.
