Convert Newtons to Petanewtons
Please provide values below to convert Newtons [N] to Petanewtons [PN].
How to Convert Newtons to Petanewtons
1 N = 1e-15 PN
1 PN = 1000000000000000 N
Example: convert 10 N to PN: 10 N = 10 × 1e-15 N = 1e-14 N
Newtons
Definition: A newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared (1 kg·m/s²).
History: The newton is named after Sir Isaac Newton, whose second law of motion (F = ma) established the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It was officially adopted as the SI unit of force in 1948 and is widely used in physics and engineering.
Petanewtons
Definition: A petanewton (PN) is a unit of force equal to 10¹⁵ newtons, typically used to measure extremely large forces, such as those in astrophysical phenomena or large-scale engineering applications.
History: The use of petanewtons is primarily found in fields dealing with massive forces, such as astrophysics, planetary science, and advanced engineering. It is often used to express the gravitational forces between celestial bodies or the thrust of powerful propulsion systems.
