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=161โ lbfโ0.278 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 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:
Petanewtons are mainly used in theoretical and high-scale physics contexts.
