About these units

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.

Dynes

A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, where one dyne equals 10^-5 newtons. It is often used in physics to measure small forces, such as those in fluid dynamics or material science. Although less common today, the dyne is still found in some specialized fields.
