Title: ? Weight questions ?
Post by: Waytec on April 14, 2009, 09:58:21 PM

I have a question I could Google it but this will probably be more fun  :)

A Ton = 2000lbs right.

How much is a metric Ton

How much is a Tone?

Also I saw on a UFC fight the weights given in Stone, how much is that in LBS

And for the gust curios, where did these measurements come from.

1 stone = 14 pounds
a "long ton"= 2240 lbs  (british)
an " american ton" or "short ton" =2000 lbs  (which is the one u usually use)
a metric ton is 1000 kilograms also know as a tonne

And given that 1kg=2.2 pounds, 1 metric tonne = 2200 pounds = real close to a long ton.
