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.
Teranewton
A teranewton (TN) is a unit of force equal to one trillion newtons (10^12 N).
History/Origin
The teranewton was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to accommodate very large force measurements, following the adoption of the SI units, to facilitate scientific and engineering calculations involving immense forces.
Current Use
The teranewton is primarily used in scientific research and engineering fields dealing with extremely large forces, such as astrophysics, large-scale structural analysis, and high-energy physics.
