Hectonewton [hN]


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



  • 1 hectonewton (hN) equals 10210^{2} newtons (100 newtons).



  • It is used to measure moderate forces, such as those encountered in mechanical engineering or smaller-scale industrial applications.



  • To put it into perspective:



1 hN=100 N1 \text{ hN} = 100 \text{ N}

Hectonewtons provide a convenient way to express forces larger than newtons but smaller than kilonewtons.



Giganewton [GN]


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



  • 1 giganewton (GN) equals 10910^{9} newtons.



  • This unit is used to express very large forces, such as those encountered in heavy engineering projects, large-scale structures, or significant natural forces like earthquakes.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 GN=1,000,000,000 N=109 N1 \text{ GN} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{9} \text{ N}

Giganewtons help quantify forces far beyond everyday scales but smaller than teranewtons and above.
