Megawatt

$10^{6}$ watts is a megawatt.

Petawatt

$10^{15}$ watts is a petawatt.

How to convert Megawatt to Petawatt

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = \frac{\text{Power}_{\text{MW}}}{{10}^{9}}$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $40.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{PW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = \frac{40.0}{{10}^{9}}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = 0.00000004$$

$$\therefore \ 40.0\ \text{MW} = 0.00000004 \ \text{PW}$$

Example 2

Convert $90.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{PW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = \frac{90.0}{{10}^{9}}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = 0.00000009$$

$$\therefore \ 90.0\ \text{MW} = 0.00000009 \ \text{PW}$$

Example 3

Convert $100.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{PW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = \frac{100.0}{{10}^{9}}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = 0.0000001$$

$$\therefore \ 100.0\ \text{MW} = 0.0000001 \ \text{PW}$$

Example 4

Convert $145.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{PW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = \frac{145.0}{{10}^{9}}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = 0.000000145$$

$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{MW} = 0.000000145 \ \text{PW}$$

Example 5

Convert $190.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{PW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = \frac{190.0}{{10}^{9}}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{PW}} = 0.00000019$$

$$\therefore \ 190.0\ \text{MW} = 0.00000019 \ \text{PW}$$
