There are multiple units of force, ton is one of them. It’s defined as the weight of one ton due to a standard gravity applied. The exact definition varies with the ton used.
One ton is the force that is applied on weight of one ton.
One ton force = 1000 kilogram force
= 9.806 Kilonewtons
= 2204.63 Pounds force
= 70931.64 poundals
Here are two different kinds of ton force.
Long ton force:
The force applied on the weight of one long ton weight.
One long ton force= 2240 lbf
=1016.046 kgf
= 9.964 kilo newton
= 720069. 69 pdl
Short ton force:
The force applied on the weight of one short ton weight.
One short ton force= 2000 lbf
= 907.184 kgf
= 8.896 kilonewton
All the calculations are based on the gravity value g=9.87gm/s2
It’s represented with ton-force. Abbreviated as tf.
In tonne force conversion, you can easily solve the following problems:
Based on the above formulas, tonne forces can be easily converted into other force units.
Of course, you can use the links below to convert other force units into tonne forces.
