Unit definitions

Newton

The newton is the SI unit of force. It is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.

Petanewton

${10}^{15}$ newtons equal one petanewton.

How to convert Newton to Petanewton

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = \frac{\text{Force}_{\text{N}}}{{10}^{15}}$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $35.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{PN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = \frac{35.0}{{10}^{15}}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = 0.000000000000035$$

$$\therefore \ 35.0\ \text{N} = 0.000000000000035 \ \text{PN}$$

Example 2

Convert $65.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{PN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = \frac{65.0}{{10}^{15}}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = 0.000000000000065$$

$$\therefore \ 65.0\ \text{N} = 0.000000000000065 \ \text{PN}$$

Example 3

Convert $110.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{PN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = \frac{110.0}{{10}^{15}}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = 0.00000000000011$$

$$\therefore \ 110.0\ \text{N} = 0.00000000000011 \ \text{PN}$$

Example 4

Convert $130.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{PN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = \frac{130.0}{{10}^{15}}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = 0.00000000000013$$

$$\therefore \ 130.0\ \text{N} = 0.00000000000013 \ \text{PN}$$

Example 5

Convert $180.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{PN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = \frac{180.0}{{10}^{15}}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{PN}} = 0.00000000000018$$

$$\therefore \ 180.0\ \text{N} = 0.00000000000018 \ \text{PN}$$
