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:

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

Meganewton [MN]

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

• 
  

  1 meganewton (MN) equals $10^{6}$ newtons (1,000,000 newtons).

  
  
• 
  

  It is commonly used to measure very large forces in engineering, such as the thrust of rocket engines or loads on large structures.

  
  
• 
  

  To give perspective:

  
  

Meganewtons are useful for quantifying forces much greater than those in everyday life but smaller than giganewtons and above.
