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:

  
  

• 
  

  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.

Millinewton [mN]

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

• 
  

  1 millinewton (mN) equals $10^{-3}$ 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:

  
  

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