Hectonewton [hN]


Hectonewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 hectonewton (hN) equals 10210^{2} newtons (100 newtons).



  • It is used to measure moderate forces, such as those encountered in mechanical engineering or smaller-scale industrial applications.



  • To put it into perspective:



1 hN=100 N1 \text{ hN} = 100 \text{ N}

Hectonewtons provide a convenient way to express forces larger than newtons but smaller than kilonewtons.



Ton-Force (Long) [tonf (UK)]


The long ton-force (also called the UK ton-force) is a unit of force based on the long ton, traditionally used in the United Kingdom.



  • A long ton equals 2,240 pounds (lbs).



  • The long ton-force is the force exerted by a long ton mass under standard gravity.



  • Mathematically:



1 tonf (UK)=2,240 lbsร—9.80665 m/s2โ‰ˆ9,964.02 newtons1 \text{ tonf (UK)} = 2,240 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 9,964.02 \text{ newtons}

  • It is used in engineering and industries where the long ton is the standard measure of mass.



  • This unit is larger than the short ton-force and differs from the metric ton-force.
