What are Centinewton and Ton-force

Definition of Centinewton

A Centinewton (cN) is a derived unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one-hundredth of a newton. It measures the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Commonly used in scientific and engineering fields, this unit provides a more precise measurement for smaller forces. Understanding the centinewton is essential for tasks requiring accurate force calculations, such as material testing, mechanical engineering, and physics experiments.

Definition of Ton-force

A Ton-force, also known as a long ton-force (tf), is a non-SI unit of force. It represents the force exerted by gravity on one long ton (2,240 pounds or 1,016 kilograms) at the Earth's surface. This unit is commonly used in engineering and mechanics to describe large forces, especially in contexts such as structural engineering, heavy machinery, and construction. Understanding ton-force is crucial for professionals dealing with significant loads and ensuring the safety and stability of structures and equipment.
