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.


Dyne [dyn]


The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units.



  • Defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.



  • Mathematically:



1 dyn=1 g×1 cm/s2=10−5 newtons1 \text{ dyn} = 1 \text{ g} \times 1 \text{ cm/s}^2 = 10^{-5} \text{ newtons}

  • The dyne is much smaller than the newton and is used primarily in physics and engineering fields that use the CGS system.



  • For comparison:



1 N=105 dyn1 \text{ N} = 10^{5} \text{ dyn}

Dyne is often used in fields like material science, mechanics, and electromagnetism when dealing with small forces.
