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.
Kilopond
The kilopond (kp) is a unit of force that was historically used to measure weight, defined as the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity.
History/Origin
The kilopond was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the gravitational system of units, primarily used in Europe before the adoption of the SI system. It was based on the standard acceleration due to gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
Current Use
The kilopond is largely obsolete and has been replaced by the newton (N) in the International System of Units. It is rarely used in modern scientific contexts but may still appear in some engineering or historical references.
