What are Kilonewton and Kilogram-force

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force within the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 1,000 newtons, where one newton is defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared. Kilonewtons are commonly used to measure force in various engineering and physics applications, such as in structural analysis and material testing. Their large magnitude makes them suitable for expressing significant forces encountered in industrial and construction contexts.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI unit of force that represents the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared. In other words, one kilogram-force is equal to 9.80665 newtons. This unit was commonly used before the adoption of the newton in the International System of Units (SI). It remains in use in some fields and regions for expressing force, particularly in contexts where the metric system is preferred but SI units are not strictly adhered to.
