  • Mathematically:



1 short ton-force=2,000 lbsร—9.80665 m/s2โ‰ˆ8,896.44 newtons1 \text{ short ton-force} = 2,000 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 8,896.44 \text{ newtons}

  • It is used in industries like engineering and construction where forces related to short tons are relevant.



  • Note: This differs from the metric ton-force (tf) and long ton-force used in other systems.
