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). It represents one hundredth of a newton, with one newton being the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Centinewtons are commonly used in scientific and engineering applications where smaller forces need to be measured with precision. This unit provides a convenient means to express smaller magnitudes of force without resorting to decimal points, thereby enhancing clarity in documentation and calculations.

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force (tf) is a non-SI unit of force that represents the force exerted by one ton of mass under standard gravity. Specifically, it is defined as the gravitational force exerted by a mass of one metric ton (1,000 kilograms) at the earth's surface, which is approximately 9,806.65 newtons. This unit is often used in engineering and structural applications to quantify large forces, such as those encountered in construction, heavy machinery, and load-bearing calculations. It provides a practical way to express significant magnitudes of force in a comprehensible manner.
