The sthène (French: [stɛn]; symbol sn), sometimes spelled (or misspelled) sthéne[1] or sthene[2] (from Ancient Greek: σθένος, romanized: sthénos, lit. 'force'[3]), is an obsolete unit of force or thrust in the metre–tonne–second system of units (mts) introduced in France in 1919.[4] When proposed by the British Association in 1876, it was called the funal, but the name was changed by 1914.[1] The mts system was abandoned in favour of the mks system and has now been superseded by the International System of Units.[2]
1 sthène = 1 kilonewton[5] ≈ 101.9716 kilograms-force ≈ 224.8089 pounds-force ≈ 7,233.014 poundals
