Decinewton [dN]


Decinewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 decinewton (dN) equals 10โˆ’110^{-1} newtons (0.1 newton).



  • It is used to measure small forces, especially in contexts where forces less than one newton need to be expressed conveniently.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 dN=0.1 N1 \text{ dN} = 0.1 \text{ N}

Decinewtons help quantify forces smaller than a newton but larger than centinewtons.



Newton [N]


The newton (N) is the SI unit of force.



  • It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.



  • Mathematically:



1 N=1 kgโ‹…m/s21 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2

  • Named after Sir Isaac Newton for his work on classical mechanics.



  • Commonly used to measure forces such as weight, tension, and thrust in physics and engineering.



Example: The weight of a 1 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 9.8 N.
