Convert Kilogram-force square second per meter to Short Ton
Kilogram-force square second per meter
The unit kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) combines force, time, and length dimensions. It represents the mass equivalent when analyzing force-related phenomena over time and distance, where kilogram-force is the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram at standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
This unit originates from engineering contexts where the gravitational metric unit kilogram-force (kgf) was commonly used before the adoption of the SI system. It was part of older metric-based systems in Europe and engineering fields, gradually replaced by the SI unit newton (N) for consistency.
Short Ton
The short ton (symbol tn or t) is a unit of mass primarily used in the United States. It is equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.1847 kilograms. The short ton is part of the U.S. customary system and is smaller than both the long ton (used in the UK) and the metric ton.
The short ton originated in the U.S. as a way to standardize weight measurements, particularly for bulk commodities like coal and steel. It is called "short" to distinguish it from the long ton (also known as the imperial ton), which is used in the UK and equals 2,240 pounds. The short ton became widely used in the United States during the 19th century as part of the U.S. customary system of measurements.
