Ounce-Force [ozf]


Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force used mainly in the Imperial and US customary systems.



  • It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one ounce (oz) under standard Earth gravity.



  • Since there are 16 ounces in a pound-force, mathematically:



1 ozf=116 lbfโ‰ˆ0.278 newtons1 \text{ ozf} = \frac{1}{16} \text{ lbf} \approx 0.278 \text{ newtons}

  • Ounce-force is typically used for measuring small forces in applications like mechanical devices, small-scale forces, or packaging.



  • It provides a convenient way to express forces smaller than a pound-force in everyday and engineering contexts.




Petanewton [PN]


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



  • 1 petanewton (PN) equals 101510^{15} newtons.



  • It represents forces much larger than those encountered in everyday life or typical engineering but smaller than exanewtons.



  • Such forces might be relevant in astrophysics, like the force between massive celestial bodies.



Mathematically:


1 PN=1015 N1 \text{ PN} = 10^{15} \text{ N}

Petanewtons are mainly used in theoretical and high-scale physics contexts.
