Meganewton
A meganewton (MN) is a unit of force equal to one million newtons.
History/Origin
The meganewton was introduced as part of the metric system's SI units to measure larger forces, especially in engineering and physics, to provide a convenient scale for high-force measurements.
Current Use
Meganewtons are used in engineering, physics, and aerospace to quantify large forces, such as those in structural analysis, rocket propulsion, and large machinery.
Newton
The newton (N) is the SI derived unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.
History/Origin
The newton was named after Sir Isaac Newton and introduced in the 20th century as part of the International System of Units (SI) to standardize measurements of force.
Current Use
The newton is widely used in physics and engineering to quantify force, including in calculations involving mechanics, dynamics, and various scientific applications.
