What are Ton-force and Poundal

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, or ton-force long, is a unit of force. It represents the force exerted by one long ton under the acceleration of gravity. This measurement is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify large forces, especially in the context of structural load and materials testing. The unit emphasizes the force that would be applied over a square foot area, providing a practical understanding for applications requiring substantial force calculations.

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. While not as commonly used as other force units like the newton, the poundal remains relevant in certain engineering and physics applications, particularly in the United States.
