dekanewton or decanewton (daN)a fairly common metric
unit of force equal to 10 newtons.
The dekanewton is equal to 1 megadyne, to 1.019 716
kilograms of force (kgf) or kiloponds (kp), to 2.248
09 pounds of force (lbf), and to 72.3301 poundals.
In engineering, the dekanewton is a convenient substitute
for the kilogram of force or kilopond, since it is
nearly equal to those units.jeff
