What is a pond in terms of force?

A pond is an outdated unit of force equal to one gram-force, representing the force exerted by a mass of one gram under standard gravity.

Why convert from pond to meganewton?

Conversions help translate small legacy force measurements into the modern SI unit meganewton, which is used for very large engineering forces.

Where is the meganewton unit commonly used?

Meganewton is used in scientific and engineering fields for quantifying large forces, such as rocket engine thrust and structural engineering loads.
