About these units

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.

Newtons

A newton is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in honor of his work in physics, particularly his second law of motion. One newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Newtons are widely used to measure forces in engineering, mechanics, and daily life, such as the force you exert when pushing a door.
