Tons

📖 A ton is a unit of mass that can refer to either a short-ton or a long-ton, depending on the context. In the US, a ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, while in the UK, it can refer to either 2,000 or 2,240 pounds. It is commonly used to measure the weight of heavy objects, such as vehicles or machinery.

💡 The word "ton" comes from the Old English word "tunne," which means a large barrel or cask. This is because the weight of a barrel full of wine or beer was often used as a standard measurement in medieval times.
