What are Centinewton and Piconewton

Definition of Centinewton

A Centinewton (cN) is a metric unit of force equal to one-hundredth (1/100) of a Newton. The Newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It represents the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Therefore, one Centinewton is equivalent to 0.01 Newton, providing a smaller and more convenient unit for measuring less intense forces in various scientific and engineering applications.

Definition of Piconewton

A Piconewton (pN) is a metric unit of force equal to one trillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000) of a Newton. The Newton, the SI unit of force, is named after Sir Isaac Newton and is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. The Piconewton is used in fields like molecular biology and nanotechnology, where extremely small forces need to be measured with high precision, such as the forces between molecules or within cells.
