Short Ton (abbreviations: shton, or ton U.S.): 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 907.2 kilograms (Kg), or approximately 2000 pounds (lb), or 0.9072 metric tons, or 0.892913 long tons (imperial).
Atomic Mass Unit (abbreviations: amu, or u): also known as dalton (symbol: Da), is a standard unit of mass that used on an atomic or molecular scale (atomic mass). One unified atomic mass unit is about the mass of one nucleon (either a single proton or neutron) and equivalent to 1 g/mol.
How to Convert Short Tons to Atomic Mass Units
Example: How many atomic mass units are equivalent to 25.33 Short tons?
As;
1 Short tons = 5.4648794905711E+29 atomic mass units
25.33 Short tons = Y atomic mass units
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 25.33 times 5.4648794905711E+29 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 25.33 * 5.4648794905711E+29 / 1 = 1.3842539749617E+31 atomic mass units
Answer is: 1.3842539749617E+31 atomic mass units are equivalent to 25.33 Short tons.
