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 short ton-force=2,000 lbs×9.80665 m/s28,896.44 newtons1 \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.



Ounce-Force [ozf]


Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force used mainly in the Imperial and US customary systems.



  • It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one ounce (oz) under standard Earth gravity.



  • Since there are 16 ounces in a pound-force, mathematically:



1 ozf=116 lbf0.278 newtons1 \text{ ozf} = \frac{1}{16} \text{ lbf} \approx 0.278 \text{ newtons}

  • Ounce-force is typically used for measuring small forces in applications like mechanical devices, small-scale forces, or packaging.



  • It provides a convenient way to express forces smaller than a pound-force in everyday and engineering contexts.
