Centinewton [cN]


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



  • 1 centinewton (cN) equals 10โˆ’210^{-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 cN=0.01 N1 \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 kilonewton equals 1,000 newtons:



1 kN=1,000 N1 \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.
