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:

  
  

• 
  

  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.

Dyne [dyn]

The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units.

• 
  

  Defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  The dyne is much smaller than the newton and is used primarily in physics and engineering fields that use the CGS system.

  For comparison:

  
  

Dyne is often used in fields like material science, mechanics, and electromagnetism when dealing with small forces.
