Exanewton

EN

Definition

An exanewton equals 10^18 Newtons and represents an extremely large force unit. This unit is used in theoretical physics and astrophysics for describing forces on cosmic scales, such as gravitational forces between massive celestial bodies.

History/Origin

The exanewton was created as part of the metric system's decimal prefix system to handle extremely large forces. The prefix "exa" (meaning 10^18) was adopted in 1975. This unit is primarily used in theoretical calculations and astrophysical contexts.

Current Use

Used in theoretical physics and astrophysics for describing forces on cosmic scales. Applied in calculations involving massive celestial bodies, galactic dynamics, and cosmological models. Primarily a theoretical unit used in scientific research and calculations.

Ton-force (short)

tonf

Definition

Ton-force (short) represents the gravitational force exerted on a short ton (2,000 pounds) under standard gravity conditions. It equals approximately 8,896 Newtons and is used for measuring very large forces in industrial and engineering applications, particularly in the United States.

History/Origin

Ton-force (short) emerged as a practical unit for expressing large forces in industrial applications, particularly in the United States. It was particularly useful in heavy industry, mining, and construction where forces are measured in tons. The short ton version became standardized in the US.

Current Use

Used in heavy industry for measuring large forces, such as in mining equipment, construction machinery, and industrial presses. Common in shipbuilding and offshore engineering in the United States. Used in some US engineering standards and specifications for large-scale applications.
