Kilopound-Force [kipf]

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

• 
  

  It equals 1,000 pound-force (lbf).

  
  
• 
  

  Mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  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.

  
  

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:

  
  

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