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:

1 \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.

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.
