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.
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.
