What are Newton and Kip-force

A Newton, symbolized as 'N', is the International System of Units (SI) derived 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 amount of force applied to an object to cause a change in its motion.

A Kip-force, often just called a kip, is a non-SI unit of force. It equals 1,000 pounds-force (lbf) and is used primarily in the United States. This unit is commonly utilized in engineering and construction within the US, especially when measuring large forces. One kip-force is equivalent to approximately 4.448 kilonewtons in the metric system.
