Convert hectonewton to femtonewton
Please provide values below to convert hectonewton [hN] to femtonewton [fN], or Convert femtonewton to hectonewton.
1 hN = 1.0000e+17 fN. To convert hectonewton to femtonewton, multiply the value by 1.0000e+17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fN = 1.0000e-17 hN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hN = 1.0000e+17 fN
- 1 fN = 1.0000e-17 hN
- 10 hN = 1.0000e+18 fN
- 100 hN = 1.0000e+19 fN
How to Convert Hectonewton to Femtonewton
1 hN = 1e+17 fN
Example: convert 15 hN to fN:
15 hN = 15 × 1e+17 fN = 1.5e+18 fN

Hectonewton
A hectonewton (hN) is a unit of force equal to 100 newtons.
History/Origin
The hectonewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of force, primarily used in engineering and physics, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, the hectonewton is used in engineering, physics, and force measurements where larger force values are involved, especially in contexts requiring convenient scaling from newtons.
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.
