Hectonewton [hN]


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



  • 1 hectonewton (hN) equals 10210^{2} newtons (100 newtons).



  • It is used to measure moderate forces, such as those encountered in mechanical engineering or smaller-scale industrial applications.



  • To put it into perspective:



1 hN=100 N1 \text{ hN} = 100 \text{ N}

Hectonewtons provide a convenient way to express forces larger than newtons but smaller than kilonewtons.



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.
