Force
A force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate, meaning a change in speed or direction, unless counterbalanced by other forces.
Kilogram-force
The kilogram-force (kgf or kgF), or kilopond (kp, from lit), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. Ton-force and kilogram-force are units of force.
See Ton-force and Kilogram-force
Long ton
The long ton, also known as the imperial ton or displacement ton,Dictionary.com - "a unit for measuring the displacement of a vessel, equal to a long ton of 2240 pounds (about 1016 kg) or 35 cu.
Newton (unit)
The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Ton-force and newton (unit) are units of force.
See Ton-force and Newton (unit)
Pound (force)
The pound of force or pound-force (symbol: lbf, sometimes lbf) is a unit of force used in some systems of measurement, including English Engineering units and the foot–pound–second system. Ton-force and pound (force) are units of force.
See Ton-force and Pound (force)
Pound (mass)
The pound or pound-mass is a unit of mass used in both the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement.
See Ton-force and Pound (mass)
Poundal
The poundal (symbol: pdl) is a unit of force, introduced in 1877, that is part of the Absolute English system of units, which itself is a coherent subsystem of the foot–pound–second system. Ton-force and poundal are units of force.
Short ton
The short ton (abbreviation tn) is a measurement unit equal to.
Standard gravity
The standard acceleration of gravity or standard acceleration of free fall, often called simply standard gravity and denoted by or, is the nominal gravitational acceleration of an object in a vacuum near the surface of the Earth.
See Ton-force and Standard gravity
Ton
Ton is any of several units of measure of mass, volume or force.
Tonne
The tonne (or; symbol: t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms.
Unit of measurement
A unit of measurement, or unit of measure, is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

Weight
In science and engineering, the weight of an object, is the force acting on the object due to acceleration of gravity.
