What is a pond in force measurement?

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

What does one dyne represent?

One dyne is the CGS unit of force required to accelerate a one gram mass by one centimetre per second squared.

Why convert pond to dyne?

Conversion helps translate legacy gram-force data to CGS units for better analysis in physics and classical mechanics.
