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:

  
  

• 
  

  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.

  
  

Joule per Meter [J/m]

Joule per meter is a unit that represents energy per unit length.

• 
  

  Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy.

  
  
• 
  

  When expressed as joule per meter (J/m), it describes how much energy is distributed or transferred along each meter of length.

  
  
• 
  

  Commonly used in contexts such as:

  
  
  • 
    

    Energy density along a line (e.g., tension in a string or energy stored per unit length in materials).

    
    
  • 
    

    Describing work done per meter traveled.

    
    
  
  
• 
  

  It can also relate to forces when considering energy changes over distance:

  
  

This means joule per meter can be equivalent to a newton, representing force.
