Understanding Force Conversion
What is a Newton (N)?
The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. It's commonly used in physics and engineering calculations.
What is a Nanonewton (nN)?
A nanonewton (nN) is one billionth (10⁻⁹) of a newton. This extremely small unit of force is often used in nanotechnology, biological studies, and precise scientific measurements.
Common Applications
Nanonewtons are commonly used in:
- Molecular force measurements
- Cell adhesion studies
- Atomic force microscopy
- Quantum mechanical experiments
