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:



1 N=1 kgโ‹…m/s21 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2

  • 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.


Teranewton [TN]


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



  • 1 teranewton (TN) equals 101210^{12} newtons.



  • It is used to express extremely large forces, such as those found in planetary science, large-scale engineering, or astrophysics.



  • To give perspective:



1 TN=1,000,000,000,000 N=1012 N1 \text{ TN} = 1,000,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{12} \text{ N}

Teranewtons are useful for describing massive forces far beyond typical human-made scales but smaller than petanewtons or exanewtons.
