Nanonewton (nN) Unit Definition
The nanonewton is a multiple of the unit newton (N) for force. The International System of Units (SI) defines the prefix nano (n) as a factor of one billionth or 10-9 or 0.000000001. Per this definition, one nanonewton is 10-9 newtons. The nanonewton is represented by the symbol nN.
