What is a giganewton used for?

A giganewton measures extremely large forces, such as those in aerospace thrusts, large infrastructure loads, and geophysical events.

Why convert from giganewton to decinewton?

Conversion allows very large forces to be expressed in smaller units, facilitating detailed analysis, sensor calibration, and laboratory measurements.

What challenges arise when converting GN to dN?

Due to the large scale difference, converted values can become extremely large and difficult to manage without proper numerical tools.
