Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force is a unit of force in the imperial system of measurement. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. In essence, one pound-force is equal to 32.17405 poundals, the standard unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It is commonly used in the United States for measuring engine thrust, tension, and other force-related parameters.

Definition of Tonne

A tonne, also known as a metric ton, is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms. It is a non-SI unit accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) and is commonly used worldwide. The tonne is often used in commerce and industry as a measure for large quantities of materials, such as minerals and metals, and for assessing the displacement of ships.
