Ounce-Force [ozf]


Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force used mainly in the Imperial and US customary systems.



  • It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one ounce (oz) under standard Earth gravity.



  • Since there are 16 ounces in a pound-force, mathematically:



1 ozf=116 lbf0.278 newtons1 \text{ ozf} = \frac{1}{16} \text{ lbf} \approx 0.278 \text{ newtons}

  • Ounce-force is typically used for measuring small forces in applications like mechanical devices, small-scale forces, or packaging.



  • It provides a convenient way to express forces smaller than a pound-force in everyday and engineering contexts.




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:



1 tf=1,000 kg×9.80665 m/s2=9,806.65 N1 \text{ tf} = 1,000 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9,806.65 \text{ N}

  • 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.
