Convert dekanewton to newton
Please provide values below to convert dekanewton [daN] to newton [N], or Convert newton to dekanewton.
1 daN = 10 N. To convert dekanewton to newton, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N = 0.1 daN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 daN = 10 N
- 1 N = 0.1 daN
- 10 daN = 100 N
- 100 daN = 1000 N
How to Convert Dekanewton to Newton
1 daN = 10 N
Example: convert 15 daN to N:
15 daN = 15 × 10 N = 150 N

Dekanewton
A dekanewton (daN) is a unit of force equal to ten newtons.
History/Origin
The dekanewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger, more convenient unit of force for engineering and scientific applications, especially in contexts where the newton is too small for practical use.
Current Use
The dekanewton is used in engineering and physics to measure force, particularly in fields like mechanics and material testing, though it is less common than the newton.
Newton
The newton (N) is the SI derived unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.
History/Origin
The newton was named after Sir Isaac Newton and introduced in the 20th century as part of the International System of Units (SI) to standardize measurements of force.
Current Use
The newton is widely used in physics and engineering to quantify force, including in calculations involving mechanics, dynamics, and various scientific applications.
