Newtons to Micronewtons Conversion
Enter the force in newtons below to get the value converted to micronewtons.
How to Convert Newtons to Micronewtons
To convert a newton measurement to a micronewton measurement, multiply the force by the conversion ratio. One newton is equal to 1,000,000 micronewtons, so use this simple formula to convert:
The force in micronewtons is equal to the newtons multiplied by 1,000,000.
Newtons and micronewtons are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Newtons
The newton is a unit to for measuring force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.[1]
The newton is the SI derived unit for force in the metric system. Newtons can be abbreviated as N; for example, 1 newton can be written as 1 N.
Newtons can be expressed using the formula: 1 N = 1 kgms2
Micronewtons
One micronewton is equal to 1/1,000,000 of a newton, which is equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
The micronewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "micro" is the prefix for 10-6. Micronewtons can be abbreviated as μN; for example, 1 micronewton can be written as 1 μN.
