A
ton-force is one of various units of
force defined as the
weight of one
ton due to
standard gravity.
[All calculations on this page assume the following definition of standard gravity, g0.
]
- g0 =
The precise definition depends on the definition of
ton used.
Tonne-force
The tonne-force (tf or t
f)
[The tonne-force, also known as the metric ton-force, is equivalent to the megagram-force (Mgf or Mgf) and the megapond (Mp).] is equal to the weight of one
tonne.
