Newton (abbreviation: N): is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion. One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in direction of the applied force.
Long Ton (abbreviations: Lton, or ton imperial): is a non-SI metric unit of mass. Although, it is used principally as a unit of mass, it has acquired a number of meanings and uses over long years. It is equivalent to 1,016 kilograms (Kg), or approximately 2,239.859 pounds (lb), or 1.119929 short tons (US), or 1.016 metric tons.
How to Convert Newtons to Long Tons
Example: How many Long tons are equivalent to 67.74 newtons?
As;
1 newtons = 0.00010036118348264 Long tons
67.74 newtons = Y Long tons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 67.74 times 0.00010036118348264 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 67.74 * 0.00010036118348264 / 1 = 0.0067984665691138 Long tons
Answer is: 0.0067984665691138 Long tons are equivalent to 67.74 newtons.
