About these units

Decinewtons

A decinewton (dN) is 0.1 newtons. It’s rarely used but could be practical in situations involving small forces, such as in laboratory experiments or precision measurements where high accuracy is needed.

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.
