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.
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.
