What are Dyne and Ton-force

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force specified in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, symbolized as 'dyn'. 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 commonly used today, having been largely replaced by the Newton in the International System of Units (SI).

Definition of Ton-force

A ton-force, specifically a short ton-force, is a unit of force that is predominantly used in the United States. It is defined as the amount of force exerted by one short ton (2,000 pounds) under the influence of standard gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). It is not an SI unit but is still used in certain contexts, particularly in measuring large forces such as in mechanical and civil engineering.
