Newton [N]

The newton (N) is the SI unit of force.

• 
  

  It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  Named after Sir Isaac Newton for his work on classical mechanics.

  
  
• 
  

  Commonly used to measure forces such as weight, tension, and thrust in physics and engineering.

  
  

Example: The weight of a 1 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 9.8 N.

Ton-Force (Metric) [tf]

Ton-force (metric), also called tonne-force or metric ton-force (tf), is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one metric ton (1,000 kilograms) under standard gravity.

• 
  

  Defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 metric ton under Earth's gravity (9.80665 m/s²).

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  Though not an SI unit, it is widely used in engineering and heavy industries to measure large forces.

  
  

Example: A force of 5 tf corresponds to approximately 49,033 newtons.
