What are Giganewton and Ton-force

Definition of Giganewton

A Giganewton (GN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to one billion newtons. It is often used in fields such as physics and engineering to measure large amounts of force. One newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, a Giganewton represents a significant amount of force, useful in contexts like aerospace engineering, where large-scale forces are common.

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force (long), often abbreviated as tf, is a unit of force that is commonly used in engineering and physics. It represents the force exerted by one long ton (2240 pounds) under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). This unit is particularly useful in contexts where large forces are at play, such as in construction, heavy machinery, and structural engineering. The ton-force is not an SI unit but is widely understood and utilized in various applications that require the measurement of substantial forces.
