Piconewton [pN]


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



  • 1 piconewton (pN) equals 10โˆ’1210^{-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:



1 pN=0.000000000001 N1 \text{ pN} = 0.000000000001 \text{ N}

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


Centinewton [cN]


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



  • 1 centinewton (cN) equals 10โˆ’210^{-2} 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 N1 \text{ cN} = 0.01 \text{ N}

Centinewtons allow convenient expression of forces smaller than decinewtons but larger than millinewtons.
