Millinewton [mN]


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



  • 1 millinewton (mN) equals 10310^{-3} newtons (0.001 newton).



  • It is commonly used to measure very small forces, such as in microengineering, delicate instrumentation, or biomechanical applications.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 mN=0.001 N1 \text{ mN} = 0.001 \text{ N}

Millinewtons are useful for expressing forces smaller than centinewtons, allowing precise measurement of low-force phenomena.


Kilogram-Force [kgf]


Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity.



  • It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 kilogram under Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.80665 m/s²).



  • Mathematically:



1 kgf=1 kg×9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 N1 \text{ kgf} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ N}

  • Although not an SI unit, kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering and industries to express force more intuitively related to mass.



Example: A force of 10 kgf corresponds to approximately 98.07 newtons.
