What is a meganewton used for?

A meganewton quantifies large forces, such as rocket engine thrust, heavy structural loads, and forces in large industrial machinery.

When should I use teranewtons instead of meganewtons?

Teranewtons are suited for extremely large forces like planetary gravitational interactions, impact simulations, or megastructure load assessments.

What is the conversion rate between meganewton and teranewton?

One meganewton equals 0.000001 teranewtons.
