About Ton-force
Definition: The ton-force (symbol: tf) is the force exerted by one metric ton (1000 kg) under standard Earth gravity.
History: Large gravitational force unit for heavy machinery and structural applications.
Current Use: Used for large structural loads, heavy machinery capacity, and major engineering forces.
Examples: Heavy press: 10-100 tf, large crane: 50-500 tf, structural loads: 1-1000 tf
About Newton
Definition: The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at one meter per second squared.
History: Named after Sir Isaac Newton in 1946. Adopted as standard SI unit to replace various national force units.
Current Use: Universal standard for force measurement in engineering, physics, and scientific applications worldwide.
Examples: Apple weight: 1 N, handshake: 20-30 N, car engine: 5,000-15,000 N, rocket thrust: millions of N
