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.
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 Long Tons to Kilonewton
Example: How many kilonewton are equivalent to 56.47 Long tons?
As;
1 Long tons = 9.9639972641183 kilonewton
56.47 Long tons = Y kilonewton
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 56.47 times 9.9639972641183 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 56.47 * 9.9639972641183 / 1 = 562.66692550476 kilonewton
Answer is: 562.66692550476 kilonewton are equivalent to 56.47 Long tons.
