Discover the precision of converting Ton-force long square foot measurements into the widely used kN/m² units. This tool sparks curiosity with its effortless conversion process, tailored for engineers and professionals.

What are Ton-force and Kilonewton

A 'ton-force' refers to a unit of force that is equivalent to the gravitational force exerted on a ton of mass at the Earth's surface. It is commonly used in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States. In the Imperial system, a long ton-force is based on the long ton, which is 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms.

A 'kilonewton' (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one thousand newtons. The newton is the SI derived unit of force and is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. Hence, a kilonewton would accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one thousand meters per second squared.

History of Ton-force and Kilonewton
