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.
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.
