What are Ton-force and Newton

Definition of Ton-force

A ton-force, specifically a short ton-force, is a unit of force that represents the weight of one short ton under standard gravity. It is commonly used in the United States and is equivalent to 2000 pounds-force. This measurement is not part of the International System of Units (SI) and is typically used in engineering and construction contexts where pressure or force measurements are critical.

Definition of Newton

The Newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. One Newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. It is a vital unit in physics and engineering, helping to quantify the force applied in various phenomena and applications.
