Newton
A newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram by one meter per second squared.
History: The unit is named after Isaac Newton and is part of the SI system.
Current use: Newtons are used in physics, engineering, mechanics, and force specifications.
Also written as N, newtons.
Kilonewton
A kilonewton equals 1,000 newtons.
History: It follows the SI kilo prefix for practical large force values.
Current use: Kilonewtons are used in structural engineering, materials testing, and load ratings.
Also written as kN, kilonewtons.
