What are Kilonewton and Newton

Definition of Kilonewton

A 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. This unit is commonly used in engineering and physics to express larger forces such as the structural load on buildings or the thrust of jet engines.

Definition of Newton

A newton (N) is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, it quantifies the force exerted and is widely used in physics and engineering to measure weight, tension, and resistance.
