Decinewton
A decinewton (dN) is a unit of force equal to ten newtons.
History/Origin
The decinewton was introduced as a metric unit of force, derived from the newton, to facilitate measurements in smaller force ranges. It is part of the decimal metric system and is used primarily in scientific and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Decinewtons are used in physics and engineering to measure forces that are conveniently expressed in multiples of ten newtons, especially in contexts where precise force measurements are needed without using larger units like kilonewtons.
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.
