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.
Hectonewton
A hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force equal to 100 newtons.
History/Origin
The hectonewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of force, primarily used in engineering and physics, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, the hectonewton is used in engineering, physics, and force measurements where larger force values are involved, especially in contexts requiring convenient scaling from newtons.
