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/s²).

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  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.

Joule per Centimeter [J/cm]

Joule per centimeter is a unit of energy per unit length.

• 
  

  It measures how much energy is distributed or transferred over each centimeter.

  
  
• 
  

  Since 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter, joule per centimeter is related to joule per meter by:

  
  

• 
  

  Like joule per meter, this unit is used to describe energy density along a line, such as tension in a wire or energy stored per unit length in materials.

  
  
• 
  

  Also, it can relate to force, since:

  
  

Thus, joule per centimeter expresses a larger force equivalent compared to joule per meter.
