What are Hectonewton and Ton-force

Definition of Hectonewton

A Hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force in the metric system. It represents 100 Newtons (N), which is derived from the International System of Units (SI). The prefix 'hecto-' signifies a hundredfold increase, making one Hectonewton equivalent to 100 Newtons. Newtons measure the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, Hectonewton is commonly used in fields like physics and engineering where large force measurements are necessary.

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, often abbreviated as tf, is a unit of force used primarily in the United States. One Ton-force is equivalent to 2000 pounds-force (lbf) in the US customary system. It measures the force exerted by a ton of mass under standard gravitational acceleration. This unit is frequently used in engineering and construction industries to describe the force exerted by heavy machinery or structures. Understanding this unit is crucial for professionals dealing with large-scale forces and weights.
