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.


Dyne [dyn]


The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units.



  • Defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.



  • Mathematically:



1 dyn=1 gร—1 cm/s2=10โˆ’5 newtons1 \text{ dyn} = 1 \text{ g} \times 1 \text{ cm/s}^2 = 10^{-5} \text{ newtons}

  • The dyne is much smaller than the newton and is used primarily in physics and engineering fields that use the CGS system.



  • For comparison:



1 N=105 dyn1 \text{ N} = 10^{5} \text{ dyn}

Dyne is often used in fields like material science, mechanics, and electromagnetism when dealing with small forces.
