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.
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.
