About these units
Meganewton (MN)
- Definition
- A meganewton (MN) is one million newtons, used for very large forces.
- History
- It is a metric multiple of the newton for large-scale work.
- Current use
- Meganewtons describe rocket-engine thrust and heavy-press forces.
Kilogram-force (kgf)
- Definition
- A kilogram-force (kgf) is the gravitational force on one kilogram, about 9.807 newtons.
- History
- It was common in older metric engineering before the newton became standard.
- Current use
- Kilogram-force still appears in some engineering and everyday weight contexts.
