What is a dekanewton (daN)?

A dekanewton is an SI-derived unit of force equal to 10 newtons, commonly used to express forces on the order of tens of newtons.

Why convert dekanewtons to kilonewtons?

Converting dekanewtons to kilonewtons allows expressing forces in a larger unit scale suitable for structural, mechanical, and aerospace engineering applications.

How do I perform the conversion?

Multiply the value in dekanewtons by 0.01 to get the equivalent force in kilonewtons.
