Exanewton
An exanewton (EN) is a unit of force equal to 10^18 newtons.
History/Origin
The exanewton was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent extremely large forces, following the adoption of the SI system and its prefixes in the 20th century.
Current Use
The exanewton is primarily used in theoretical physics and large-scale engineering contexts where extremely large forces are involved, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its size.
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.
