What are Ton-force and Poundal

Definition of Ton-force

A ton-force, specifically a short ton-force, is a unit of force based on the weight of the US short ton under standard gravity. One short ton-force equals 2000 pound-forces, which is the amount of force exerted by a 2000-pound mass under Earth's gravity. It is commonly used in the United States in engineering and mechanical contexts.

Definition of Poundal

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. One poundal is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. It represents a smaller unit of force than the pound-force and is equivalent to 1/32.17405 pound-force (lbf).
