Teranewton [TN]


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



  • 1 teranewton (TN) equals 101210^{12} newtons.



  • It is used to express extremely large forces, such as those found in planetary science, large-scale engineering, or astrophysics.



  • To give perspective:



1 TN=1,000,000,000,000 N=1012 N1 \text{ TN} = 1,000,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{12} \text{ N}

Teranewtons are useful for describing massive forces far beyond typical human-made scales but smaller than petanewtons or exanewtons.



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/sยฒ).



  • Mathematically:



1 tf=1,000 kgร—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.
