Hectonewton
A hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force equal to 100 newtons.
History/Origin
The hectonewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of force, primarily used in engineering and physics, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, the hectonewton is used in engineering, physics, and force measurements where larger force values are involved, especially in contexts requiring convenient scaling from newtons.
Kilopound-Force
A kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force equal to 1,000 pounds-force, primarily used in engineering and construction to measure large forces.
History/Origin
The kilopound-force originated in the United States as a practical unit for structural engineering, especially in the context of large-scale construction projects, and has been used since the mid-20th century.
Current Use
Today, the kilopound-force is mainly used in civil and structural engineering within the US to specify forces in design and analysis, although it is less common internationally due to the adoption of SI units.
