What are Kilonewton and Ton-force

The kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one thousand newtons. It is widely used in engineering, construction, and physics to measure force. One kilonewton is approximately equal to the force needed to accelerate a mass of 100 kilograms at a rate of one meter per second squared.

Ton-force, often shortened to ton, is a unit of force that is not part of the International System of Units. It is commonly used in the United States and is based on the force exerted by one ton of mass under standard gravity. One ton-force is equivalent to 2000 pounds-force (lbf) or 8.896 kilonewtons (kN).
