What are Kilonewton and Kilogram-force

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force equal to 1,000 newtons (N). It is commonly used in various engineering applications to represent significant magnitudes of force. The newton itself is the SI unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, a kilonewton is a practical and larger unit that is particularly useful in fields like structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics, where large forces are often encountered.

Definition of Kilogram-force

A kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI unit of force that represents the force exerted by gravity on one kilogram of mass. Specifically, it is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by 9.80665 meters per second squared, which is the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. Although the kilogram-force is not widely used in scientific contexts due to the preference for SI units, it is still commonly applied in engineering and some industries to simplify the understanding of force in terms of familiar mass units.
