Petanewton [PN]

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

1 petanewton (PN) equals $10^{15}$ 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 \text{ PN} = 10^{15} \text{ N}

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

Kilopond [kp]

The kilopond (also called kilogram-force, kgf) is a unit of force based on the metric system.

It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard Earth gravity.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ kp} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ newtons}

It is commonly used in engineering and industries, especially before the widespread adoption of the newton (SI unit).
The kilopond is equivalent to the kilogram-force (kgf) and is often used interchangeably.
Despite being non-SI, it remains popular in some regions for practical measurements of force.
