kN a N convertidor - Kilonewton a Newton

Conversion derivation

Express both kN and N in the same base unit N (newton), then cancel the shared base unit.

1. 1

   Rewrite kN in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{kN}=1,000\mathrm{N}$$
2. 2

   Rewrite N in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{N}=1\mathrm{N}$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{kN}& =\frac{1,000\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}{1\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}\times 1\mathrm{N}\\ & =\frac{1,000}{1}\mathrm{N}\\ & =1,000\mathrm{N}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{N}& =\frac{1\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}{1,000\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}\times 1\mathrm{kN}\\ & =\frac{1}{1,000}\mathrm{kN}\\ & =0.001\mathrm{kN}\end{array}$$
