Dekanewton
A dekanewton (daN) is a unit of force equal to ten newtons.
History/Origin
The dekanewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger, more convenient unit of force for engineering and scientific applications, especially in contexts where the newton is too small for practical use.
Current Use
The dekanewton is used in engineering and physics to measure force, particularly in fields like mechanics and material testing, though it is less common than the newton.
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.
