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.
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.
