ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО TON
тонна
Тон - это единица измерения. Он имеет долгую историю и с годами приобрел ряд значений и применений. Он используется главным образом как единица массы и как единица объема. Его также можно использовать в качестве меры энергии, для классификации грузовиков или в качестве разговорного термина. Он получен из тун, термин, применяемый к бочке наибольшего размера. Это может содержать объем от 210 до 256 галлонов, который может весить около 2000 фунтов и занимать около 60 кубических футов пространства. В Соединенном Королевстве тонна определяется как 2240 фунтов. С 1965 года Великобритания приступила к программе метрики и постепенно вводила метрические единицы, включая тонну, метрическую единицу, не относящуюся к SI, определенную как 1000 кг. Закон 1985 года о весах и мерах явно запретил использовать для торговли многие единицы и термины, включая тонну и термин «метрическая тонна» для «тонны». В Соединенных Штатах и бывшей Канаде тонна составляет 2000 фунтов. Там, где возможны путаницы, толщина 2240 фунтов называется «длинная тонна» и 2000 тонны тонны «короткая тонна»; тонна отличается орфографией, но обычно выражается так же, как и тонна, следовательно, термин «метрическая тонна» в США.

Известные цитаты и высказывания со словом
ton.
It's not at all uncommon for a writer to get a ton of publicity for one book and then not get as much for the next one.

If I do that well, I feel, good tidings generally will follow and readers will stick with me.
