What is a joule per meter [J/m] used for?

A joule per meter quantifies mechanical force derived from energy gradients and is numerically equivalent to a newton; it is used to express tension or line energy in various scientific fields.

Why convert joule/meter to pond?

This conversion helps translate modern SI-based force measurements into the legacy pond unit, enabling interpretation of historical data and calibration of older instruments.

Is pond still used in modern measurements?

No, pond is an obsolete unit mainly found in historical contexts or legacy equipment; modern use prefers SI units like newtons.
