What are ton-force and centimeter

A ton-force, often abbreviated as 'tf', represents a unit of force. It is defined as the amount of force exerted by one short ton (2,000 pounds or 907.18474 kilograms) under the influence of standard gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). The ton-force is predominantly used in the United States and is a part of the imperial and US customary systems of measurement.

A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equivalent to one hundredth of a meter, the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The centimeter is widely used for everyday measurements and is represented by the symbol 'cm'. Its usage is common in various applications, including tailoring for measuring fabric, engineering for technical drawings, and by meteorologists for rainfall measurements.
