About these units

Centinewtons

A centinewton (cN) is 0.01 newtons, making it useful for expressing very small forces. It might be used in situations involving micro-robotics or precision instruments where delicate forces are applied.

Meganewtons

A meganewton (MN) is 106 newtons. It’s commonly used in fields like aerospace engineering to describe the force exerted by rockets or the loads in large structures. Meganeutons are an appropriate unit for expressing massive forces that exceed the capacity of kilonewtons.
