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/sยฒ).



  • Mathematically:



1 tf=1,000 kgร—9.80665 m/s2=9,806.65 N1 \text{ tf} = 1,000 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9,806.65 \text{ N}

  • 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.


Kilopond [kp]


The kilopond (also called kilogram-force, kgf) is a unit of force based on the metric system.



  • It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard Earth gravity.



  • Mathematically:



1 kp=1 kgร—9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 newtons1 \text{ kp} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ newtons}

  • It is commonly used in engineering and industries, especially before the widespread adoption of the newton (SI unit).



  • The kilopond is equivalent to the kilogram-force (kgf) and is often used interchangeably.



  • Despite being non-SI, it remains popular in some regions for practical measurements of force.
