About these units

Dekanewtons

A dekanewton (daN) represents 10 newtons of force. It is a convenient unit for representing forces in contexts where newtons are too small, but kilonewtons are too large. Dekanewtons are occasionally used in mechanical and engineering applications.

Kiloponds

A kilopond (kp) is equivalent to kilogram-force. It was previously used to measure forces exerted by larger masses, but it has been replaced by more standardized units like the newton.
