Pond
A pond is a small body of still water, typically smaller than a lake, often formed naturally or artificially for various purposes.
History/Origin

Current Use
Today, ponds are used for recreational activities, wildlife habitat, aquaculture, and aesthetic purposes in landscaping and urban planning.
Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
The poundal was introduced in the 19th century as part of the FPS system of units, primarily used in engineering and physics in the United States before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the poundal is largely obsolete and rarely used, having been replaced by the SI unit newton; however, it may still be referenced in historical contexts or specialized engineering fields.
