About these units
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 It was previously used to measure forces exerted by larger masses, but it has been replaced by more standardized units like the newton.
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.
