What does joule per centimeter measure in this context?

Joule per centimeter expresses energy per unit length, equating to force when considering work done over a displacement.

Why is the pond unit considered obsolete?

The pond represents an old unit of force equal to one gram-force and is seldom used in modern engineering, replaced by SI units like newtons.

When should I convert from J/cm to pond?

This conversion is useful for comparing contemporary energy-related measurements with historical or legacy force data, especially in precision and calibration settings.
