kN a MN convertitore - Kilonewton a Meganewton

Conversion derivation

Express both kN and MN 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 MN in the base unit

   $$1\mathrm{MN}=1,000,000\mathrm{N}$$
3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{kN}& =\frac{1,000\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}{1,000,000\cancel{\mathrm{N}}}\times 1\mathrm{MN}\\ & =\frac{1,000}{1,000,000}\mathrm{MN}\\ & =0.001\mathrm{MN}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

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