What are Giganewton and Kilopound-force

Definition of Giganewton

A Giganewton (GN) is a unit of force equal to one billion newtons. The newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. Giganewton is typically used in fields involving large-scale forces, such as aerospace, structural engineering, and physics. One GN represents a substantial quantity of force, equivalent to approximately 224,809,000 pounds-force.

Definition of Kilopound-force

A Kilopound-force (kip) is a unit of force equivalent to one thousand pounds-force. It is commonly used in the United States in structural engineering and construction to measure large loads or forces. The kilopound-force provides a practical unit for expressing force without resorting to very large numerical values, making it convenient for engineering calculations and specifications.
