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.
Joule/meter
The joule per meter (J/m) is a unit of energy per unit length, commonly used to measure energy distribution along a distance.
History/Origin
The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, defined in 1948, and the meter (m) is the SI base unit of length. The combination J/m has been used in physics and engineering to quantify energy density or energy per unit length, especially in fields like mechanics and material science.
Current Use
J/m is used today to express energy per unit length in applications such as work done per unit length, energy density in cables, and in force-related calculations involving energy distribution along a line.
