Millinewton
A millinewton (mN) is a unit of force equal to one thousandth of a newton.
History/Origin
The millinewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a smaller, more precise unit of force for scientific and engineering applications, especially in contexts requiring fine measurements.
Current Use
Millinewtons are used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biomechanics to measure small forces, and are commonly employed in force calibration, material testing, and precision instrumentation.
Teranewton
A teranewton (TN) is a unit of force equal to one trillion newtons (10^12 N).
History/Origin
The teranewton was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to accommodate very large force measurements, following the adoption of the SI units, to facilitate scientific and engineering calculations involving immense forces.
Current Use
The teranewton is primarily used in scientific research and engineering fields dealing with extremely large forces, such as astrophysics, large-scale structural analysis, and high-energy physics.
