About these units
Dekanewtons
A dekanewton (daN) represents 10 newtons of force. It is a convenient unit for representing forces in contexts where newtons are too small, but kilonewtons are too large. Dekanewtons are occasionally used in mechanical and engineering applications.
Giganewtons
A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
