Kilonewton to Newton Converter
kN
N
1. 1 kN × 1000 = 1000 N
2. 1000 N ÷ 1 = 1000 N
2. 1000 N ÷ 1 = 1000 N
Unit Information
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.
1 kN = 1000 N1 kN = 0.001 MN1 kN = 101.972 kgf
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.
