What are Teranewton and Kip-force

A Teranewton (TN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) that equals one trillion newtons (1 TN = 10^12 N). This unit is used to measure extremely large forces, typically seen in scientific research, engineering, and astrophysics. The term 'Newton' itself is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work in classical mechanics. As forces increase to magnitudes of trillion newtons, the Teranewton becomes a convenient unit for simplification and clarity in calculations.

The Kip-force, often referred to simply as 'kip', is a unit of force commonly used in structural engineering. One kip is equal to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). This unit is particularly useful in the United States for describing loads in building construction and civil engineering projects. The term 'kip' is derived from 'kilo-pound', indicating a thousand pounds of force. Engineers and architects utilize this unit to quantify large forces in a more manageable scale, facilitating easier design and analysis processes.
