Dekanewton
A dekanewton (daN) is a unit of force equal to ten newtons.
History/Origin
The dekanewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger, more convenient unit of force for engineering and scientific applications, especially in contexts where the newton is too small for practical use.
Current Use
The dekanewton is used in engineering and physics to measure force, particularly in fields like mechanics and material testing, though it is less common than the newton.
Ton-Force (Long)
A unit of force equal to the force exerted by one long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity, approximately 20,000 pounds-force.
History/Origin
The ton-force (long) originated from the use of the long ton in the UK, primarily for engineering and maritime purposes, before the adoption of SI units. It was used to measure force in contexts where imperial units were standard.
Current Use
The ton-force (long) is largely obsolete in modern scientific and engineering contexts, replaced by the newton. It may still be used in some historical or niche applications within the UK or in legacy systems.
