Kilonewton (kN)

A metric unit of force equal to one thousand newtons.

System: SI

Conversion Process

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

Step 1: Convert from Newton to Newton

1 × 1 = 1

Result: 1 Newton

Step 2: Convert from Newton to Kilonewton

1 × 0.001 = 0.001

Result: 0.001 Kilonewton

Direct Conversion Factor

1 ÷ 1,000 = 0.001

Direct conversion: 1 Newton = 0.001 Kilonewton

Kilonewton (kN)

System: SI

Definition:1 kilonewton = 10³ Newtons.

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

Common Usage: Widely used in engineering, particularly in structural engineering for loads, forces, and strengths, and in mechanical engineering.
