What are Kilonewton and Pound-force

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton (kN) is a metric unit of force equivalent to 1,000 newtons. The newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, measures the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. Kilonewtons are commonly used in engineering, construction, and physics to quantify large forces, such as those encountered in structural loads, machinery, and vehicle dynamics. By using kilonewtons, engineers and scientists can communicate and calculate significant force magnitudes more conveniently.

Definition of Pound-force

A pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and other countries employing the imperial system. Defined as the force exerted by gravity on a one-pound mass, it is equivalent to approximately 4.44822 newtons. Pound-force is often used in engineering, mechanics, and physics to express forces, such as torque, thrust, and tension. It is a vital unit for understanding and calculating the forces involved in various applications, from automotive engineering to structural analysis.
