A newton is the SI derived unit of force equivalent to the force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at one metre per second squared.

What does the pond unit represent?

The pond is an obsolete force unit equal to one gram-force, representing the force on a one-gram mass under standard gravity.

When should I convert from newton to pond?

Conversion is useful when dealing with legacy force data, historical documents, or calibrating older laboratory equipment using pond units.
