Convert dekanewton to newton

Dekanewton

The dekanewton (daN) is a unit of force equal to 10 newtons, formed by applying the SI deka- prefix to the newton. It is used in some European engineering standards, particularly in the textile industry for expressing thread and material tension. One dekanewton equals 10 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.
