What is a millinewton?

A millinewton (mN) is an SI unit of force equal to one thousandth of a newton, reflecting the force to accelerate a 1 gram mass at 1 meter per second squared.

Why convert millinewtons to hectonewtons?

Converting allows expressing small forces in larger units suitable for moderate load applications, making it easier to compare and integrate forces from different scales.

In which fields is this conversion commonly used?

It is widely used in robotics, micro-electromechanical systems, mechanical engineering, materials testing, and quality control environments.
