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.


Kilopond [kp]


The kilopond (also called kilogram-force, kgf) is a unit of force based on the metric system.



  • It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard Earth gravity.



  • Mathematically:



1 kp=1 kgร—9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 newtons1 \text{ kp} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ newtons}

  • It is commonly used in engineering and industries, especially before the widespread adoption of the newton (SI unit).



  • The kilopond is equivalent to the kilogram-force (kgf) and is often used interchangeably.



  • Despite being non-SI, it remains popular in some regions for practical measurements of force.
