1 kN per meter squared per meter is a unit of measurement for stress, specifically stress intensity. It represents the force (1 kilonewton) applied over an area of one square meter, per unit length of one meter. This measurement indicates the amount of force distributed over a specific area and length, providing insight into the intensity of the stress being applied.

kN = Kilo newtons. It's a measure of force. meter squared per meter is a type of acceleration, and force is a type of acceleration. So saying, for example, 5 kN ms-2 means that there's 5 kilo newtons of force at that area.
The abbreviation kN could be used to indicate kilonewtons. A newton is a unit of measurement used to describe the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of meter, per second, per second. Kilonewtons are used in rating fasteners and anchors to indicate the safe working parameters.
MG KN was created in 1933.
1 ton (force) = 9964.016 newtons = 9.964016 KN
15 kN = 15 x 1000 N = 15000 N
Those are incompatible units, in the sense that a newton is a unit of force, while a tonne is a unit of mass (equal to 1000 kilograms). On Earth, with a gravity of 9.8 meters per second squared, a mass of one ton has a weight of 9800 newton (or 9.8 kN). In other situations, the same mass of one ton will have a different weight.
