Centinewton

The centinewton (cN) is a unit of force equal to 0.01 newtons, formed by applying the SI centi- prefix to the newton. It is widely used in the textile industry to measure yarn tension and in precision instrumentation. One centinewton equals 0.01 newtons. 


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.
