Newton
The newton (N) is the SI derived unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.
History/Origin
The newton was named after Sir Isaac Newton and introduced in the 20th century as part of the International System of Units (SI) to standardize measurements of force.
Current Use
The newton is widely used in physics and engineering to quantify force, including in calculations involving mechanics, dynamics, and various scientific applications.
Millinewton
A millinewton (mN) is a unit of force equal to one thousandth of a newton.
History/Origin
The millinewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a smaller, more precise unit of force for scientific and engineering applications, especially in contexts requiring fine measurements.
Current Use
Millinewtons are used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biomechanics to measure small forces, and are commonly employed in force calibration, material testing, and precision instrumentation.
