Micronewton
A micronewton (µN) is a unit of force equal to one millionth of a newton, the SI base unit of force.
History/Origin
The micronewton was introduced as a submultiple of the newton to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, as part of the SI system standardization.
Current Use
Micronewtons are used in precision measurements in physics, engineering, and scientific research where very small forces need to be quantified accurately.
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.
