Ton-Force (Short)

The short ton-force is a unit of force based on the short ton, primarily used in the United States.

A short ton equals 2,000 pounds (lbs).
The short ton-force is the force exerted by one short ton mass under standard gravity.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ short ton-force} = 2,000 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 8,896.44 \text{ newtons}

It is used in industries like engineering and construction where forces related to short tons are relevant.
Note: This differs from the metric ton-force (tf) and long ton-force used in other systems.

Hectonewton [hN]

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

1 hectonewton (hN) equals $10^{2}$ newtons (100 newtons).
It is used to measure moderate forces, such as those encountered in mechanical engineering or smaller-scale industrial applications.
To put it into perspective:

1 \text{ hN} = 100 \text{ N}

Hectonewtons provide a convenient way to express forces larger than newtons but smaller than kilonewtons.
