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.

Meganewton [MN]

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

• 
  

  1 meganewton (MN) equals $10^{6}$ newtons (1,000,000 newtons).

  
  
• 
  

  It is commonly used to measure very large forces in engineering, such as the thrust of rocket engines or loads on large structures.

  
  
• 
  

  To give perspective:

  
  

Meganewtons are useful for quantifying forces much greater than those in everyday life but smaller than giganewtons and above.
