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.
Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
