What is deca newton?
10 Newtons. See related question "What are the SI prefixes?"
What are units of force?
The international (SI) unit for force is the newton.
Why are SI measurements helpful?
SI units of measurements are helpful because they help people to have a common reference point when discussing something. They can exchange ideas about measurements even if they are working from different backgrounds.
Why are newtons named after Isaac Newton?
The newton (N) was adopted as the unit of force in the Systeme Internationale (SI) in the 1960s. It was named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton. His 2nd Law, F=ma was used to derive the unit from the existing SI units the metre, the second and the kilogram. Newton is also one of the most famous and influential physicists of all time.
Explain why prefixes are useful with SI units?
Sometimes you need a very large, or a very small, amount of a certain unit. One way to deal with that is to use prefixes like kilo, mega, milli, micro, and others.
Does an SI base unit contain a prefix?
No, an SI base unit does not contain a prefix. SI base units, such as the meter, kilogram, or second, are defined without any prefixes. However, prefixes can be added to these base units to denote multiples or fractions, such as kilometer (1,000 meters) or milligram (0.001 grams), but these are not considered base units themselves.

Is femo a si prefix?
no; however, femto- is an SI prefix meaning 10-15
What is the base units for length and mass?
The SI (Systeme International) units for mass is the kilogram. For length, it is the Metre, and for volume, the Litre. Note the system is known as the International System, (SI). The International Bureau for Weights and Measures is located near Paris France, the on their web site they have lots of useful information, including for example, the prefixes for the multiples and sub-multiples. Such as Mega, and micro.
What unit of force is smaller than the newton?
In the SI, the usual SI prefixes would be used for smaller units - prefixes such as milli, micro, etc.
What comes after zetta?
After zetta, which represents (10^{21}), the next prefix in the International System of Units (SI) is yotta, representing (10^{24}). Following yotta, the next prefixes are bronto, representing (10^{27}), and geop, representing (10^{30}}, although these are not officially recognized SI prefixes.
What are the divisions of metric system?
For units larger or smaller than the base units, you can use prefixes such as kilo (x 1000), Mega (x 1 million), milli (x 0.001), micro (x 0.000 001), etc.; for a complete list, search the Wikipedia for "SI prefixes".
Which SI units can be used to describe the measurment of volume?
The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m^3), but for smaller volumes, the liter (L) is often used.
What measure is volume in units?
milliliters, deciliters, litersAnswer:The official SI unit for volume is the cubic meter. Surprisingly, the liter is not the official SI unit of volume, although is is commonly accepted as such and used with metric prefixes.
Which one is larger megagram or centigram?
Please take a look at the Wikipedia article "SI prefixes". There you can see the values of prefixes such as "mega", "kilo", and others. The prefixes are the same for all units. For example, "micro" always means a millionth, whether it is applied to gram, to hertz, to seconds, etc.
What is the metric unit for length and for mass?
The SI (Systeme International) units for mass is the kilogram. For length, it is the Metre, and for volume, the Litre. Note the system is known as the International System, (SI). The International Bureau for Weights and Measures is located near Paris France, the on their web site they have lots of useful information, including for example, the prefixes for the multiples and sub-multiples.
