What is the relation between giganewton and femtonewton?

One giganewton (GN) equals 10^24 femtonewton (fN), representing a vast difference in force scale.

Why convert such large forces to extremely small force units?

This conversion helps compare macroscopic forces to nanoscale forces in fields like engineering and molecular biology.

Are these conversions commonly used in daily practical applications?

No, these conversions are mostly theoretical or for specialized cross-disciplinary studies.
