Pound
Definition
The pound is a unit of weight established in countries that use imperial measurement. There are many different types of pounds, but the international avoirdupois pound (the common measuring system used today) is equivalent to 0.45359237 kilograms.
Origin
The idea of redefining the pound's value originated from the Roman libra. There were numerous definitions of the pound that were accepted throughout history, but none that was as industry-wide and widely-used as the international avoirdupois system. The avoirdupois system was accepted in the 13th century and is still seen today. Previously, it was a commonly used system that had 16 ounces based on a prototype weight. Thankfully, this amount could be divided into numbers with three even divisors (8, 4, 2). This may have been one of the reasons why it became more popular than other systems of the time and are still used today.
Current use
The pound as a unit of weight is widely used in the United States, often for measuring body weight. Many versions of the pound existed in the past in the United Kingdom (UK), and although the UK largely uses the International System of Units, pounds are still used within certain contexts, such as labelling of packaged foods (by law the metric values must also be displayed). The UK also often uses both pounds and stones when describing body weight, where a stone is 14 pounds.
Gram
Definition
A gram is a unit of measurement used in the International System of Units (SI). One gram is equal to one thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. The definition for the kilogram changed in 2019, no longer being based on international prototypes and Planck's constant.
Origin
Originally, a gram was defined as the absolute weight of pure water at the melting point (0 °C) in cubic centimeters. It was used to be a fundamental unit of mass in centimeter-gram-second systems of units. However the metric system has supplanted this, and now it is only used as a measurement of weight.
Current use
The gram is mostly used in contexts that involve things that are not liquid. For example, a food product's nutrition label will often list the weights of the actual contents instead of their volume in milliliters. This is because it's much more accurate and precise to use grams.
