Giganewton [GN]

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

1 giganewton (GN) equals $10^{9}$ newtons.
This unit is used to express very large forces, such as those encountered in heavy engineering projects, large-scale structures, or significant natural forces like earthquakes.
To put it in perspective:

1 \text{ GN} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{9} \text{ N}

Giganewtons help quantify forces far beyond everyday scales but smaller than teranewtons and above.

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.
