Centinewton [cN]

Centinewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 centinewton (cN) equals $10^{-2}$ newtons (0.01 newton).
It is used to measure very small forces, useful in precision engineering, material testing, and small-scale physics experiments.
To put it in perspective:

1 \text{ cN} = 0.01 \text{ N}

Centinewtons allow convenient expression of forces smaller than decinewtons but larger than millinewtons.

Kilonewton [kN]

The kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 \text{ kN} = 1,000 \text{ N}

It represents the force required to accelerate a 1,000 kg mass at 1 meter per second squared.
Kilonewtons are commonly used to measure larger forces in engineering, construction, and physics, such as the load on structures, thrust in engines, or tension in cables.

Example: The force exerted by a 100 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 0.98 kN.
