Convert ton-force (long) to pound foot/square second
Please provide values below to convert ton-force (long) [tonf (UK)] to pound foot/square second [lb*ft/s^2], or Convert pound foot/square second to ton-force (long).
1 tonf (UK) = 72069.8710607 lb*ft/s^2. To convert ton-force (long) to pound foot/square second, multiply the value by 72069.8710607; to go the other way, divide by it (1 lb*ft/s^2 = 1.3875423742e-05 tonf (UK)). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Pound Foot/square Second
The pound foot per square second (lb*ft/s^2) is a unit of force representing the force exerted by a one-pound mass accelerated at one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
This unit originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify force based on the pound as a unit of mass and foot as a unit of distance, with seconds as the time unit. It is related to the pound-force (lbf) but includes a distance component, making it a derived unit in mechanics.
Current Use
The pound foot per square second is rarely used in modern practice; force is typically expressed in pound-force (lbf). When used, it appears in specific engineering contexts involving force calculations in imperial units, especially in classical mechanics and engineering analyses.
