What is a decinewton?

A decinewton (dN) is an SI-derived unit of force equal to one tenth of a newton, used for expressing relatively small forces.

Why convert decinewtons to nanonewtons?

Converting to nanonewtons allows for expression and measurement of very small forces relevant in micro- and nanoscale scientific and engineering contexts.

What is the conversion factor from decinewton to nanonewton?

One decinewton equals 100,000,000 nanonewtons.
