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.
Hectonewton
A hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force equal to 100 newtons.
History/Origin
The hectonewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of force, primarily used in engineering and physics, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, the hectonewton is used in engineering, physics, and force measurements where larger force values are involved, especially in contexts requiring convenient scaling from newtons.
