Conversion Process

This conversion uses Newton as the base unit. We'll first convert Kilonewton to Newton, then convert from Newton to Newton.

Step 1: Convert from Kilonewton to Newton

1 × 1,000 = 1,000

Result: 1,000 Newton

Step 2: Convert from Newton to Newton

1,000 × 1 = 1,000

Result: 1,000 Newton

Direct Conversion Factor

1 × 1,000 = 1,000

Direct conversion: 1 Kilonewton = 1,000 Newton

Kilonewton (kN)

System: SI

Definition:1 kilonewton = 10³ Newtons.

Origin: Derived from the Newton and the SI prefix "kilo-".
