Convert femtonewton to newton
Please provide values below to convert femtonewton [fN] to newton [N], or Convert newton to femtonewton.
1 fN = 1.0000e-15 N. To convert femtonewton to newton, multiply the value by 1.0000e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N = 1.0000e+15 fN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fN = 1.0000e-15 N
- 1 N = 1.0000e+15 fN
- 10 fN = 1.0000e-14 N
- 100 fN = 1.0000e-13 N
How to Convert Femtonewton to Newton
1 fN = 1e-15 N
Example: convert 15 fN to N:
15 fN = 15 × 1e-15 N = 1.5e-14 N

Femtonewton
A femtonewton (fN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-15 newtons.
History/Origin
The femtonewton is part of the metric system's SI prefixes, introduced to measure extremely small forces, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts involving micro- or nano-scale phenomena.
Current Use
Femtonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, molecular physics, and precision measurements where forces at the femtonewton scale are relevant.
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.
