Meganewton [MN]

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

• 
  

  1 meganewton (MN) equals $10^{6}$ newtons (1,000,000 newtons).

  
  
• 
  

  It is commonly used to measure very large forces in engineering, such as the thrust of rocket engines or loads on large structures.

  
  
• 
  

  To give perspective:

  
  

Meganewtons are useful for quantifying forces much greater than those in everyday life but smaller than giganewtons and above.

Piconewton [pN]

Piconewton is a very tiny unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  1 piconewton (pN) equals $10^{-12}$ newtons (0.000000000001 newton).

  
  
• 
  

  It is commonly used in molecular biology, biophysics, and nanotechnology to measure forces at the molecular or atomic scale.

  
  
• 
  

  To put it in perspective:

  
  

Piconewtons allow scientists to quantify incredibly small forces, such as those involved in DNA stretching or molecular interactions.
