What are Gram-force and Ton-force

Definition of Gram-force

Gram-force (gf) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by one gram of mass under the influence of standard gravity. Specifically, it is equivalent to 9.80665 millinewtons. This unit is often used in fields that require precise measurements of small forces, such as physics and engineering. The concept of gram-force is critical when dealing with systems where minute forces play a significant role, enabling more accurate and detailed analysis.

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force (tf), also known as ton-force short, is a unit of force defined as the force exerted by one short ton under standard gravity. One short ton is equivalent to 2,000 pounds, and hence, a ton-force short is approximately 8,896.4432 newtons. This unit is particularly useful in fields like construction, engineering, and logistics, where large forces are common. Understanding ton-force helps in the accurate analysis and design of structures and machinery subjected to significant loads.
