About These Units
Short Ton-force (tonf)
A short ton-force (tonf) equals 2,000 pounds-force or 8.896 kilonewtons. Ton-force measures heavy industrial forces: press capacity, cable breaking strength, and ship anchor holding power in US applications.
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.
