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.
