	Tonne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The SI unit of mass is the kilogram and a tonne is correctly described in SI as a megagram.
		Like grams and kilograms, tonnes have also given rise to a force unit of the same name: 1 tonne-force = 9.80665 kilonewtons (kN), a unit also often called simply "tonne" or "metric ton" without identifying it as a unit of force.
		The ton of TNT or tonne of Trinitrotoluene is a unit of energy with the tonne as a proxy term.
