Ton-Force (Metric)
Ton-force (metric), symbol: tf, is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one metric ton (1000 kg) under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
History/Origin
The ton-force originated from the need to quantify large forces in engineering and industrial contexts, particularly in the measurement of engine and machinery forces, and has been used in various forms since the early 20th century.
Current Use
Ton-force (metric) is primarily used in engineering, physics, and industrial applications to express large forces, especially in contexts involving heavy machinery, structural analysis, and force calculations within the 'Force' converter category.
Dyne
A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.
History/Origin
The dyne was introduced as part of the CGS system of units in the late 19th century, serving as a smaller force unit compared to the Newton, to facilitate calculations in physics and engineering involving small forces.
Current Use
The dyne is primarily used in theoretical physics and certain specialized scientific fields; however, it has largely been replaced by the Newton in most practical applications and international standards.
