Converting from Newton (N) to Ton-force (short) ([tonf (US)])

What is Newton (N)

Newton (N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Sir Isaac Newton and is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.

What is Ton-force (short) ([tonf (US)])

Ton-force (short) or [tonf (US)] is a unit of force commonly used in engineering and physics in the United States. It represents the force exerted by one short ton (2000 pounds) under the standard gravity of 9.80665 meters per second squared.
