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.
Ounce-Force
Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one ounce under standard gravity, approximately 0.278 Newtons.
History/Origin
The ounce-force originated from the imperial and US customary systems, used historically for measuring small forces, especially in engineering and physics contexts before the widespread adoption of the Newton as the SI unit.
Current Use
Ounce-force is rarely used today, primarily in legacy systems or specific industries such as aerospace and mechanical engineering where imperial units are still in use, but it has largely been replaced by the Newton in scientific and international contexts.
