Question 1

What is a millinewton?

Accepted Answer

A millinewton (mN) equals 0.001 newtons (10⁻³ N). Common for small force measurements in physics experiments.

Question 2

How do you convert millinewtons to newtons?

Accepted Answer

Divide mN by 1000 or multiply by 0.001. Example: 250 mN = 0.25 N.

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.
