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.

Teranewton [TN]

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

1 teranewton (TN) equals $10^{12}$ newtons.
It is used to express extremely large forces, such as those found in planetary science, large-scale engineering, or astrophysics.
To give perspective:

1 \text{ TN} = 1,000,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{12} \text{ N}

Teranewtons are useful for describing massive forces far beyond typical human-made scales but smaller than petanewtons or exanewtons.
