What are Ton-force and Mercury

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, often abbreviated as 'tf', is a unit of force. It is defined as the amount of force exerted by one short ton of mass under the influence of Earth's gravity. One short ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, thus a ton-force is equivalent to 2,000 pounds-force. This unit is commonly used in countries that utilize the imperial system of measurement.

Definition of Mercury

Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is commonly known as quicksilver and was formerly named hydrargyrum. Mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure, with a freezing point of -38.83 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 356.73 degrees Celsius.
