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.
