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.
Micronewton
A micronewton (µN) is a unit of force equal to one millionth of a newton, the SI base unit of force.
History/Origin
The micronewton was introduced as a submultiple of the newton to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, as part of the SI system standardization.
Current Use
Micronewtons are used in precision measurements in physics, engineering, and scientific research where very small forces need to be quantified accurately.
