What are Ton-force and Inch

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, or long ton-force, is a unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by one long ton (2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016.05 kilograms) under standard gravity. Ton-force is used in engineering and mechanical calculations where heavy loads and pressure are considered. It is a traditional British unit, often used to express the force produced by engines and mechanical presses.

Definition of Inch

An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 1/12 of a foot or 1/36 of a yard. Historically, an inch was also used in a number of other systems of units. Today, the inch is widely used in the United States, and to a lesser extent in the United Kingdom and Canada, despite the adoption of the metric system. Its standardized length is 2.54 centimeters.
