What is a Newton?
The Newton (N) is the SI derived unit of force. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one meter per second squared.
What is a Kilonewton?
The Kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force equal to 1,000 newtons. It is commonly used in safety specifications for climbing equipment and in civil engineering.
How to Convert Newton to Kilonewton
To convert Newton to Kilonewton, divide the Newton value by 1000.
kN = N ÷ 1000Manual Calculation Steps
