Teranewton
A teranewton (TN) is a unit of force equal to one trillion newtons (10^12 N).
History/Origin
The teranewton was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to accommodate very large force measurements, following the adoption of the SI units, to facilitate scientific and engineering calculations involving immense forces.
Current Use
The teranewton is primarily used in scientific research and engineering fields dealing with extremely large forces, such as astrophysics, large-scale structural analysis, and high-energy physics.
Ounce-Force
Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one ounce under standard gravity, approximately 0.278 Newtons.
History/Origin
The ounce-force originated from the imperial and US customary systems, used historically for measuring small forces, especially in engineering and physics contexts before the widespread adoption of the Newton as the SI unit.
Current Use
Ounce-force is rarely used today, primarily in legacy systems or specific industries such as aerospace and mechanical engineering where imperial units are still in use, but it has largely been replaced by the Newton in scientific and international contexts.
