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.

Newton [N]

The newton (N) is the SI unit of force.

It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2

Named after Sir Isaac Newton for his work on classical mechanics.
Commonly used to measure forces such as weight, tension, and thrust in physics and engineering.

Example: The weight of a 1 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 9.8 N.
