Teranewton [TN]


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



  • 1 teranewton (TN) equals 101210^{12} newtons.



  • It is used to express extremely large forces, such as those found in planetary science, large-scale engineering, or astrophysics.



  • To give perspective:



1 TN=1,000,000,000,000 N=1012 N1 \text{ TN} = 1,000,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{12} \text{ N}

Teranewtons are useful for describing massive forces far beyond typical human-made scales but smaller than petanewtons or exanewtons.



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.
