What are Ton-force and Hectonewton

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force (metric) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by a mass of one metric ton under the influence of standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). It is commonly used in various engineering and mechanical applications to quantify large forces. One ton-force metric equals approximately 9.80665 kilonewtons. This unit is particularly useful in scenarios where large masses are being moved or lifted, providing a convenient measure of the force involved.

Definition of Hectonewton

A Hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force in the metric system, equivalent to one hundred newtons. The newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the SI unit for force. Therefore, one Hectonewton equals 100 newtons. This unit is often used in engineering and physics to measure larger forces more conveniently. Hectonewtons are particularly handy when dealing with forces that are not quite large enough to warrant using kilonewtons but are too significant for newtons.
