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.

Piconewton

${10}^{-12}$ newtons equal one piconewton.

How to convert Newton to Piconewton

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = \text{Force}_{\text{N}} \cdot {10}^{12}$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $40.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{pN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 40.0 \cdot {10}^{12}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 40000000000000$$

$$\therefore \ 40.0\ \text{N} = 40000000000000 \ \text{pN}$$

Example 2

Convert $90.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{pN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 90.0 \cdot {10}^{12}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 90000000000000$$

$$\therefore \ 90.0\ \text{N} = 90000000000000 \ \text{pN}$$

Example 3

Convert $115.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{pN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 115.0 \cdot {10}^{12}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 115000000000000$$

$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{N} = 115000000000000 \ \text{pN}$$

Example 4

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

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 130.0 \cdot {10}^{12}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 130000000000000$$

$$\therefore \ 130.0\ \text{N} = 130000000000000 \ \text{pN}$$

Example 5

Convert $165.0\ \text{N}$ to $\text{pN}$.

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 165.0 \cdot {10}^{12}$$

$$\text{Force}_{\text{pN}} = 165000000000000$$

$$\therefore \ 165.0\ \text{N} = 165000000000000 \ \text{pN}$$
