What are Ton-force and Newton

A ton-force, specifically a short ton-force, is a unit of force that is commonly used in the United States and is equivalent to 2000 pounds-force. It's derived from the weight of one short ton under the acceleration due to gravity. One ton-force can exert a significant amount of pressure when applied over a specific area, such as a square inch.

The Newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton for his work on classical mechanics, the Newton is a fundamental unit in physics, commonly used to express forces in various scientific contexts.
