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.
Kilonewton [kN]
The kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).
1 kilonewton equals 1,000 newtons:
It represents the force required to accelerate a 1,000 kg mass at 1 meter per second squared.
Kilonewtons are commonly used to measure larger forces in engineering, construction, and physics, such as the load on structures, thrust in engines, or tension in cables.
Example: The force exerted by a 100 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 0.98 kN.
