Examples
1
Consider a crane lifting a load that requires 2 short ton-force. Convert this force from short ton-force to Giganewtons.
Answer:
Given:
The force of crane lifing a load in short ton-force is:
Force(Short Ton-Force) = 2
Formula:
The formula to convert force from short ton-force to giganewtons is:
Substitute given weight of structure, Force(Short Ton-Force) = 5 in the above formula.
Force(Giganewtons) = 5 × 8.896443230520624e-6
Force(Giganewtons) = 0.00004448222
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 short tonf is equal to 0.00004448222 GN.
The force of structure is 0.00004448222 GN, in giganewtons.
Short Ton-Force
Short ton-force represents the force exerted by the weight of a short ton (2,000 pounds) under standard gravity. It is used primarily in the United States to describe large forces in engineering, construction, and mechanics.
Giganewtons
A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
