Convert newton to giganewton
Newton
The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton. One newton is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²). Roughly the weight of a small (100 g) apple under standard gravity, it is the base unit used throughout physics and engineering to express force, weight and thrust.
Giganewton
The giganewton (GN) is a unit of force equal to one billion newtons (109 N), or 1,000 meganewtons. Forces of this magnitude arise in geophysical and planetary science contexts, such as the tectonic forces between crustal plates or the thrust of extremely large launch vehicles. One GN is approximately equivalent to 224,809,000 pounds-force. It follows standard SI prefix conventions for 109.
