What are Ton-force and Millimeter

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, or tonne-force, is a unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by one ton of mass under the acceleration due to gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). Specifically, a short ton-force is based on the US short ton, which is equivalent to 2,000 pounds. Hence, one short ton-force equals 2,000 pounds-force.

Definition of Millimeter

A millimeter is a metric unit of length, equal to one-thousandth of a meter. It is a standard unit used in engineering and scientific contexts. Millimeters are commonly used to measure small distances or lengths, where precision is required. The millimeter is part of the International System of Units, which is based on the meter-kilogram-second system.
