Giganewton
A giganewton (GN) is a unit of force equal to one billion newtons (10^9 N).
History/Origin
The giganewton was introduced as part of the metric system's extension to larger force units, primarily for scientific and engineering applications requiring large force measurements.
Current Use
Giganewtons are used in fields such as aerospace, structural engineering, and physics to quantify large forces, especially in simulations, calculations, and measurements involving substantial loads or forces.
Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
