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.

Pound Foot per Square Second [lbf·ft/s²]

This unit represents a torque or moment of force per unit time squared (though it’s an uncommon combination and can sometimes be context-specific).

It combines pound-force (lbf), a unit of force, with foot (ft), a unit of length, divided by second squared (s²), a unit of time squared.
It may be used in dynamics or rotational mechanics when dealing with angular accelerations or rate changes of torque.
In basic terms:

1 \text{ lbf·ft/s}^2 = \text{force} \times \text{distance} \div \text{time}^2

Since 1 lbf ≈ 4.44822 newtons and 1 ft ≈ 0.3048 meters, this can be converted into SI units as:

1 \text{ lbf·ft/s}^2 \approx 1.35582 \text{ N·m/s}^2

Note: This unit is not commonly standard; usage depends on the specific physical context, like rotational dynamics.
