Ton (Short)
A short ton (US) is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.1847 kilograms.
History/Origin
The short ton was developed in the United States as a standardized unit of weight for commercial and industrial use, replacing the older long ton used in Britain. It became widely adopted in the 19th and 20th centuries for measuring large quantities of goods.
Current Use
The short ton (US) is primarily used in the United States for measuring freight, commodities, and industrial materials. It is also used in some contexts for shipping and trade, especially in industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing.
Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter
Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a derived unit used to measure a specific combination of force, time, and length, often in specialized engineering contexts.
History/Origin
The unit originates from the kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram mass, combined with time and length units for specific applications. It has been used historically in mechanical and engineering calculations before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Currently, kgf·s²/m is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units. It may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields requiring non-standard units.
