What are Ton and Horsepower

Definition of Ton

A 'Ton' in the context of explosives is a unit of energy defined by the amount of energy released by detonating one ton of TNT. It's an informal metric unit of energy equivalent to the explosive force. This term is not to be confused with the mass ton (either metric or imperial), as it represents energy, commonly used to describe the energy potential in explosives, nuclear weapons, and other similar contexts.

Definition of Horsepower

Horsepower is a unit of power in the British system of measures. It represents the power needed to lift 550 pounds one foot in one second or 33,000 foot-pounds per minute. Initially used to compare the power of steam engines with the work of horses, this unit has become a standard in rating the power output of engines in various machines, including cars and trucks.
