What are Dyne and Ton-force

A dyne is a unit of force within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. This unit is not as widely used as the newton, which is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

Ton-force is a unit of force that is mostly used in the United States and is sometimes referred to as a 'short ton-force'. It is defined as the amount of force exerted by one short ton (2,000 pounds) under the pull of gravity. This unit is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) and is typically used in engineering and construction contexts.

History of Dyne and Ton-force

A brief history of the conversion between dynes per square centimeter and tons-force per square foot dates back to the use of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system and the imperial system respectively. The need for converting these units arises in various engineering and scientific contexts, particularly where both systems are in use.
