Centinewton [cN]
Centinewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).
1 centinewton (cN) equals 10โ2 newtons (0.01 newton).
It is used to measure very small forces, useful in precision engineering, material testing, and small-scale physics experiments.
To put it in perspective:
1 cN=0.01 N
Centinewtons allow convenient expression of forces smaller than decinewtons but larger than millinewtons.
