Convert Petanewtons to Newtons
Please provide values below to convert Petanewtons [PN] to Newtons [N].
How to Convert Petanewtons to Newtons
1 PN = 1000000000000000 N
1 N = 1e-15 PN
Example: convert 10 PN to N: 10 PN = 10 × 1000000000000000 PN = 10000000000000000 PN
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.
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.
