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.
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.
