What are Hectonewton and Kip-force

Definition of Hectonewton

A Hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force in the metric system, representing one hundred Newtons. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, a Newton measures the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Consequently, a Hectonewton equals the force needed to accelerate a one-hundred-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit is commonly used in various scientific and engineering applications to quantify force.

Definition of Kip-force

A Kip-force (kip) is a non-SI unit of force commonly used in the United States in fields such as structural engineering and construction. One kip is equivalent to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). Derived from the term 'kilo-pound,' the kip provides a convenient measure for large-scale forces, simplifying calculations and documentation in structural analysis and design. Engineers often use kips to express load-bearing capacities, material strengths, and other critical parameters in large construction projects.
