What are Newton and Ton-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton (symbol: N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, the Newton is a measure of the vector quantity that represents the magnitude and direction of force.

Definition of Ton-force

A ton-force, often simply called a ton, is a unit of force that describes the weight of one long ton being exerted on an area. Specifically, one long ton-force is equivalent to 2,240 pounds-force in the British Imperial System. It is often used in industries such as engineering and material science to describe large force values.
