1. 1 N × 1 = 1 N
2. 1 N ÷ 1000 = 0.001 kN
2. 1 N ÷ 1000 = 0.001 kN
Unit Information
Newton (N)
The newton is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.

Kilonewton (kN)
The kilonewton is a unit of force equal to 1000 newtons. It is commonly used to express larger forces, such as those in building structures.
