Decinewton [dN]

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

1 decinewton (dN) equals $10^{-1}$ newtons (0.1 newton).
It is used to measure small forces, especially in contexts where forces less than one newton need to be expressed conveniently.
To put it in perspective:

1 \text{ dN} = 0.1 \text{ N}

Decinewtons help quantify forces smaller than a newton but larger than centinewtons.

Kilopound-Force [kipf]

The kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.

1 \text{ kipf} = 1,000 \text{ lbf} \approx 4,448.22 \text{ newtons}

The kipf is often used to express large forces such as structural loads, stresses in materials, or foundation pressures.
It simplifies large force values by grouping them in thousands of pounds-force, making calculations and communication more convenient.
