What are Ton-force and Gram-force

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force is a unit of force traditionally used in the imperial system, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. One ton-force long, sometimes known as a long ton-force, is equivalent to the force exerted by gravity on a long ton (2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms). It is an immense force unit and is occasionally used to express extreme pressures, such as in hydraulic systems or in industrial equipment.

Definition of Gram-force

A gram-force is a metric unit of force defined as the force exerted by gravity on one gram of mass. The standard acceleration due to gravity is used for the calculation, which is 9.80665 meters per second squared. Therefore, one gram-force is equal to 9.80665 millinewtons. This unit is often used in physics and engineering to measure small forces or in the specification of tension and compression in materials testing.
