Convert from ton-force [short] to newton

Unit Definition (ton-force [short])

Unit Definition (newton)
The newton is the Standard International (SI) unit of force. In physics and engineering documentation, the term newton(s) is abbreviated N. One newton is the force required to cause a mass of one kilogram to accelerate at a rate of one meter per second squared in the absence of other force-producing effects. In general, force (F) in newtons, mass (m) in kilograms, and acceleration (a) in meters per second squared are related by a formula well known in physics
