A kilonewton is a unit of force equal to 1,000 newtons, while a ton is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds. In terms of force, a kilonewton is equivalent to approximately 224.81 pounds-force. So in general, a ton is bigger than a kilonewton.
The number of bricks in 1 kilonewton can vary depending on the weight and size of the bricks. On average, a standard brick typically weighs around 3.5 kilograms. To convert 1 kilonewton (equal to 1000 newtons) to kilograms, you would divide by the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. So, approximately 285 standard bricks would equal 1 kilonewton.
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
There are 101.97 kilograms in a kilonewton.
1 kilonewton is equal to 1000 newton.
