About These Units

Metric Ton-force (tf)

A metric ton-force (tf) equals 9,806.65 newtons or approximately 2,205 pounds-force. Ton-force measures heavy loads: crane lifting capacity, anchor holding power, and large hydraulic press forces. Also called "tonne-force."

Newton (N)

The newton (N) is the SI unit of force equal to kg·m/s²—the force needed to accelerate 1 kg by 1 m/s². An apple weighs about 1 newton. Human bite force is 500-700 N. Car engines produce 1,500-3,000 N of thrust. Named after Sir Isaac Newton.
