Femtonewton
A femtonewton (fN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-15 newtons.
History/Origin
The femtonewton is part of the metric system's SI prefixes, introduced to measure extremely small forces, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts involving micro- or nano-scale phenomena.
Current Use
Femtonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, molecular physics, and precision measurements where forces at the femtonewton scale are relevant.
Meganewton
A meganewton (MN) is a unit of force equal to one million newtons.
History/Origin
The meganewton was introduced as part of the metric system's SI units to measure larger forces, especially in engineering and physics, to provide a convenient scale for high-force measurements.
Current Use
Meganewtons are used in engineering, physics, and aerospace to quantify large forces, such as those in structural analysis, rocket propulsion, and large machinery.
