What are Ton-force and Kilonewton

A Ton-force, or short ton-force, is a unit of force that is defined as exactly 2,000 pounds-force in the avoirdupois unit system. It represents the force exerted by one short ton of mass under Earth's standard gravity. This measurement is primarily used in the United States and is a part of the imperial system of units.

A Kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the metric system equal to one thousand newtons. It is commonly used in engineering and physics to measure forces. One kilonewton is roughly equivalent to the gravitational force exerted on a mass of about 102 kilograms on Earth.
