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.
Long Ton (abbreviations: Lton, or ton imperial): is a non-SI metric unit of mass. Although, it is used principally as a unit of mass, it has acquired a number of meanings and uses over long years. It is equivalent to 1,016 kilograms (Kg), or approximately 2,239.859 pounds (lb), or 1.119929 short tons (US), or 1.016 metric tons.
How to Convert Kilonewton to Long Tons
Example: How many Long tons are equivalent to 78.38 kilonewton?
As;
1 kilonewton = 0.10036132823933 Long tons
78.38 kilonewton = Y Long tons
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 78.38 times 0.10036132823933 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 78.38 * 0.10036132823933 / 1 = 7.866320907399 Long tons
Answer is: 7.866320907399 Long tons are equivalent to 78.38 kilonewton.
