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.
Giganewton
A giganewton (GN) is a unit of force equal to one billion newtons (10^9 N).
History/Origin
The giganewton was introduced as part of the metric system's extension to larger force units, primarily for scientific and engineering applications requiring large force measurements.
Current Use
Giganewtons are used in fields such as aerospace, structural engineering, and physics to quantify large forces, especially in simulations, calculations, and measurements involving substantial loads or forces.
