Question 1

What is a micronewton?

Accepted Answer

A micronewton (μN) equals 10⁻⁶ newtons. Used in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and precision instruments.

Question 2

How many millinewtons in a micronewton?

Accepted Answer

One millinewton equals 1000 micronewtons. So 1 μN = 0.001 mN.

Question 3

What's the difference between force and pressure?

Accepted Answer

Force (newtons) is a push or pull. Pressure (pascals) is force per unit area. Same force over smaller area = higher pressure.

Question 4

Why do we need different force units?

Accepted Answer

Newtons are SI standard. Pounds-force connects to everyday weight. Dynes (CGS) are used in some scientific fields. Each suits different applications.
