What are Kilonewton and Foot

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force. It is equal to one thousand newtons, the metric unit of force named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics. Specifically, one kilonewton is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. It is commonly used in engineering and construction to express large forces, such as the load-bearing capacity of structures.

A foot (ft) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 12 inches or 1/3 of a yard. Historically, it was based on the human foot and its size has varied from place to place and from time to time. Today, it is standardized as 0.3048 meters exactly. The foot is commonly used in many fields and is one of the base units in the United States for measuring length, width, and height.
