Meganewton [MN]


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



  • 1 meganewton (MN) equals 10610^{6} newtons (1,000,000 newtons).



  • It is commonly used to measure very large forces in engineering, such as the thrust of rocket engines or loads on large structures.



  • To give perspective:



1 MN=1,000,000 N=106 N1 \text{ MN} = 1,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{6} \text{ N}

Meganewtons are useful for quantifying forces much greater than those in everyday life but smaller than giganewtons and above.


Kilogram-Force [kgf]


Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity.



  • It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 kilogram under Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.80665 m/sยฒ).



  • Mathematically:



1 kgf=1 kgร—9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 N1 \text{ kgf} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ N}

  • Although not an SI unit, kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering and industries to express force more intuitively related to mass.



Example: A force of 10 kgf corresponds to approximately 98.07 newtons.
