Nanonewtons
A nanonewton (nN) is one-billionth of a newton. It is used in scientific fields such as molecular physics or nanotechnology, where incredibly tiny forces, like those between individual atoms or molecules, are measured.
Kilogram-Force
Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.
