# FORCE

Shedmate, the platform that processes the measurements, recognises all the force values provided as Newton (N) and performs internal conversions as required.

#### 1 N (Newton) remains 1 N, as it is the base unit.

#### 1 kN (Kilonewton) = 1,000 N.&#x20;

With these conversions, all force measurements will be in the base unit, Newton (N), facilitating consistency in calculations and comparisons.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://shedmate.gitbook.io/shedmate-help/setting-up-shedmate/costing-database-and-pricing-calculations/variables/functions-with-units/force.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
