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.

Gram-Force [gf]

The gram-force (gf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one gram of mass under standard gravity.

It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 gram under the acceleration due to gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
Mathematically:

1 \text{ gf} = 1 \text{ g} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N} = 0.00980665 \text{ N}

Although not an SI unit, gram-force is used in some fields like engineering and material science for small force measurements.

Example: The force due to a 500 g mass is 500 gf, which is approximately 4.9 newtons.
