What are Newton and Ton-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton, symbolized as 'N', is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, it quantifies the amount of force applied to an object to produce motion, adhering to the principles of classical mechanics.

Definition of Ton-force

A Ton-force, often simply 'ton', is a unit of force not recognized within the International System of Units (SI). It historically represents the approximate weight of a small car or the amount of force that Earth's gravity exerts on a ton of mass. One long ton-force equals roughly 9,964 newtons.
