Kilogram-force is a unit of force. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity on an object. It is equivalent to 9.80665 newtons, the standard value of gravity as defined by the International System of Units (SI). Kilogram-force takes into account the gravitational force and is used in engineering fields to measure force, torque, or mechanical advantage.
Definition of KilonewtonA kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one thousand newtons. It represents the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. Kilonewtons are widely used in fields like engineering and physics to express forces such as weight, tension, and load capacity in larger structures or materials.
