Kilonewtons
A kilonewton (kN) is equal to 1,000 newtons. It is often used in engineering to express larger forces, such as the load-bearing capacity of materials or the thrust produced by rockets. Kilonewtons make it easier to work with the typically larger forces involved in construction, aerospace, and structural analysis.
Kip-Force
A kip-force (kipf) is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. It is commonly used in structural engineering in the United States to describe the load-carrying capacity of structures and components.
