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.


Kilopound-Force [kipf]


The kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.



  • It equals 1,000 pound-force (lbf).



  • Mathematically:



1 kipf=1,000 lbfโ‰ˆ4,448.22 newtons1 \text{ kipf} = 1,000 \text{ lbf} \approx 4,448.22 \text{ newtons}

  • The kipf is often used to express large forces such as structural loads, stresses in materials, or foundation pressures.



  • It simplifies large force values by grouping them in thousands of pounds-force, making calculations and communication more convenient.
