What are Dekanewton and Kip-force

Definition of Dekanewton

A Dekanewton (daN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to ten newtons. The newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the standard unit of force that measures the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, a dekanewton represents a larger magnitude of force, making it useful in various scientific and engineering applications where larger forces need to be quantified.

Definition of Kip-force

A Kip-force (kip) is a unit of force commonly used in structural engineering to measure large magnitudes of force. One kip equals 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). This unit is particularly valuable in the field of civil engineering for calculating loads and stresses on structures such as bridges, buildings, and other large constructions. The term 'kip' is derived from combining the words 'kilo' and 'pound,' indicating its magnitude relative to pounds-force.
