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.
Hectonewtons
A hectonewton (hN) is equal to 100 newtons. It’s a relatively uncommon unit of force but can be useful when dealing with intermediate-scale forces that fall between kilonewtons and newtons. It might be used in measuring the force applied by certain mechanical devices.
