How many tons are in a kilonewton?

Answer 1

Tons per kilonewtonOne Newton equals 0.000112 tons (short, US). So, 1000 Newtons (a kilonewton) is 0.112 tons. Another stab at itActually, a newton (N) is an SI (International System) measure of force...specifically, it is the force that produces an acceleration of 1 meter per second per second when exerted on a mass of 1 kilogram. Since weight is the downward force exerted on matter as a result of gravity, a kN of force can be equated to weight...hence, the response above.

It is better to spell metric ton as 'tonne' to avoid confusion.

And More...

A 'tonne' is pronounced 'metric ton'; it is not written that way.
A tonne contains 9.80665 kilonewtons

Answer 2

12.51 US tons.

Further Answer

A ton is measurement of mass, whereas a newton is a measurement of force. So your question does not have an answer.
