Kilonewton to hectonewton converter (kN to hN)

Conversion Formula

1 kN = 10.000 hN

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilonewton = 1,000.0 newtons
   1 Hectonewton = 100.000 newtons
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kN = (1,000.0 N) / (100.000 N/hN) = 10.000 hN
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kN by 10.000 to get the equivalent in hN

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kN to hN:

5 kN × 10.000 = 50.000 hN
