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:

1 \text{ tonf (UK)} = 2,240 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 9,964.02 \text{ newtons}

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.

Giganewton [GN]

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

1 giganewton (GN) equals $10^{9}$ newtons.
This unit is used to express very large forces, such as those encountered in heavy engineering projects, large-scale structures, or significant natural forces like earthquakes.
To put it in perspective:

1 \text{ GN} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{9} \text{ N}

Giganewtons help quantify forces far beyond everyday scales but smaller than teranewtons and above.
