Convert centinewton to nanonewton
Please provide values below to convert centinewton [cN] to nanonewton [nN], or Convert nanonewton to centinewton.
1 cN = 10000000 nN. To convert centinewton to nanonewton, multiply the value by 10000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nN = 1e-07 cN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cN = 10000000 nN
- 1 nN = 1e-07 cN
- 10 cN = 100000000 nN
- 100 cN = 1000000000 nN
How to Convert Centinewton to Nanonewton
1 cN = 10000000 nN
Example: convert 15 cN to nN:
15 cN = 15 × 10000000 nN = 150000000 nN

Centinewton
A centinewton (cN) is a unit of force equal to one hundredth of a newton, the SI derived unit of force.
History/Origin
The centinewton was introduced as a convenient subunit of the newton for measuring small forces, especially in engineering and physics contexts, though it is not an SI standard unit and is rarely used in formal scientific literature.
Current Use
The centinewton is primarily used in specialized fields such as engineering, material testing, and calibration where small force measurements are needed, but it is largely replaced by the newton in most scientific and technical applications.
Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
