What are Newton and Ton-force

A Newton, symbolized as 'N', is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit honors Sir Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of motion and gravity, and it's fundamental in physics for quantifying the magnitude of a force.

Ton-force, often simply called a ton, is a unit of force that is not a part of the International System of Units (SI). It is commonly used in the United States and is defined as the force exerted by one short ton, which is equivalent to 2,000 pounds-force. This unit is often used in industries such as engineering and mechanics.
