What is a giganewton used to measure?

A giganewton measures extremely large forces such as aerospace propulsion thrusts, large infrastructure loads, and geophysical impact forces.

Why convert giganewtons to dekanewtons?

Converting GN to daN helps represent large forces in smaller, practical units suitable for engineering quality control and materials testing.

Can I use dekanewton to express very large forces directly?

No, dekanewton is typically used for forces on the order of tens of newtons and is not suitable for extremely large forces.
