Giganewton [GN]

Giganewton is a large unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  1 giganewton (GN) equals $10^{9}$ newtons.

  
  
• 
  

  This unit is used to express very large forces, such as those encountered in heavy engineering projects, large-scale structures, or significant natural forces like earthquakes.

  
  
• 
  

  To put it in perspective:

  
  

Giganewtons help quantify forces far beyond everyday scales but smaller than teranewtons and above.

Pound Foot per Square Second [lbf·ft/s²]

This unit represents a torque or moment of force per unit time squared (though it’s an uncommon combination and can sometimes be context-specific).

• 
  

  It combines pound-force (lbf), a unit of force, with foot (ft), a unit of length, divided by second squared (s²), a unit of time squared.

  
  
• 
  

  It may be used in dynamics or rotational mechanics when dealing with angular accelerations or rate changes of torque.

  
  
• 
  

  In basic terms:

  
  

• 
  

  Since 1 lbf ≈ 4.44822 newtons and 1 ft ≈ 0.3048 meters, this can be converted into SI units as:

  Note: This unit is not commonly standard; usage depends on the specific physical context, like rotational dynamics.
