About these units
Kilonewton (kN)
- Definition
- A kilonewton (kN) is 1,000 newtons, a convenient size for structural and automotive forces.
- History
- It is a metric multiple of the newton.
- Current use
- Kilonewtons rate structural loads, crash forces, and rocket thrust.
Newton (N)
- Definition
- The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, the force that accelerates one kilogram at one meter per second squared.
- History
- Named after Isaac Newton, it was adopted as the SI force unit in 1948.
- Current use
- Newtons measure force, weight, and thrust throughout physics and engineering.
