Convert Kilonewtons to Newtons
Enter the force in kilonewtons below to get the value converted to newtons.
How to Convert Kilonewtons to Newtons
To convert a kilonewton measurement to a newton measurement, multiply the force by the conversion ratio. One kilonewton is equal to 1,000 newtons, so use this simple formula to convert:
The force in newtons is equal to the kilonewtons multiplied by 1,000.
Kilonewtons and newtons are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Kilonewtons
One kilonewton is equal to 1,000 newtons, which are equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
The kilonewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for 103. Kilonewtons can be abbreviated as kN, for example 1 kilonewton can be written as 1 kN.
Newtons
The newton is a unit to for measuring force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.[1]
The newton is the SI derived unit for force in the metric system. Newtons can be abbreviated as N, for example 1 newton can be written as 1 N.
Newtons can be expressed using the formula: 1 N = 1 kgms2
