Kilogram (abbreviations: kg, or kgm): is a SI (metric) system unit of mass (IPK, also known as "Le Grand K" or "Big K") and equivalent to 1/1000 of one gram. Where, at the temperature of melting ice, one gram is the absolute weight of a volume equal to the hundredth part of a metre cube of pure water.
Kilonewton (abbreviation: kN): is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force where 1 kN = 1000 N. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.
How to Convert Kilograms to Kilonewton
Example: How many kilonewton are equivalent to 26.38 kilograms?
As;
1 kilograms = 0.0098066358553261 kilonewton
26.38 kilograms = Y kilonewton
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 26.38 times 0.0098066358553261 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 26.38 * 0.0098066358553261 / 1 = 0.2586990538635 kilonewton
Answer is: 0.2586990538635 kilonewton are equivalent to 26.38 kilograms.
